THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hello. Are you out of your ever-loving mind? What the hell is wrong with you? Good to see you too. I just talked to Brady and he said, you and Sloan are getting serious. You’re not actually getting in a relationship with that bitch.

Give me those prenatal vitamins. What are you doing with these? I must have picked up the wrong kind. Yeah. Okay. I figured it was something like that. Eric just told me that your childbearing days were over, that you had started menopause.

I’m really glad you stopped by. I’ve been thinking about you. I’ve been thinking about you too. Oh, um, no, not like that. Well, I mean, I have been thinking about you that way too, but this is about something else. What do you mean? I heard that your sister accused you of a crime. She thinks that you’re the one that’s coming after me.

Scotland Yard has Collins’s Prince on file. Yep. Guys got a record after all. Oh, and guess what? His last name’s not Firth. Surprise. Surprise. Mm-hmm. I can’t thank you enough for coming up. Inspector Fry Cameron Fry. Ooh, it’s nice to meet you Mr. Fry. You know we’re relieved that the Health Department.

Finally decided to send someone. My daughter can’t wait to reopen her bakery. Well, if everything is above board, then there shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll be more than happy to take care of your daughter.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

So Colin Firth is really Colin Bedford, and it looks like he was booked on assault charges five years ago in London. Bedford, huh? Too bad. The database only has his arrest. We’ll have to find out if he went to trial or if he did any time. Wait a minute. What? I knew I’d heard that name before. Bedford. You have?

Yep. And you’ll never believe where you are. Not going to find anything nasty in this kitchen. Inspector. My daughter keeps it so clean. You’re gonna eat off the floor. I think I’ll pass on that. No, she was beside herself when someone laced her biscuits with drugs. Well, she’s making sure that no one. Ever Tampas with her baked goods again.

And, uh, how is she doing that? Safety procedures. Mm-hmm. Whoever works here, anybody who works here has to know them by heart. I think you’ll find that everything’s up to code. The biscuit dough, where is that stored? Probably in, in the fridge. But I mean, that’s what Chanel told me. We didn’t tell Chanel that this inspection was happening.

We didn’t want her to get her hopes up in case things didn’t go her way. But she’s obviously the only one that knows the hands and outs of this operation, so maybe we should call her. Oh. Oh no. That won’t be necessary. I’ll be able to find everything I need without her. You sure? I am sure you see right now I’d simply prefer to deal with the two of you.

Wait, how? How did you find out, I mean, about Jada accusing me of trucking those biscuits? My mom told me after Jada told her, I guess they were talking about how there aren’t any suspects, but Sloan, I just don’t understand why Jah thinks it’s me. Well, I guess there was something off about the timing of your story, but don’t worry, my mom doesn’t believe it.

She knows that you would never do anything to hurt me, so do I.

Please do not refer to the woman in my life as a bitch, the woman in your life. Okay, so Brady was right? Yes, Brady is right. Wow. And it doesn’t bother you that the woman in your life has caused so much misery since she came to town. Do you know how many people ended up in the emergency room because she drug those biscuits?

Do you have any proof that someone was even near that bakery counselor? No, not yet because she’s an expert at covering her tracks. But it didn’t stop at the biscuit. She. Still threatening Paulina. There’s been a lot of resentment between Paulina and Sloan. Heated words between both sides. Oh God, this is more than heated words.

She’s sending Paulina threatening text messages. Now. Here I’ll show you. Paulina just forwarded these to me. Yep. If you just scroll right there down to the bottom where Sloan says to watch your back because I’m still coming for you. How do you know Sloan Synthes? How do you know this even came from or from?

I don’t because she’s not stupid enough to send it from her phone because you can’t even prove that either. Do you really just wanna turn your back while she escalates her crazy plan? I’m not turning my back. I’ve investigated this in every way possible. And I’m telling you, Sloan has nothing or had nothing to do with Paulina since the civil suit was thrown out.

Well, if it wasn’t Sloan, who was it? I have no idea, bill. It’s not my job to play investigator. Okay, so you’re just gonna take Sloan at her word. God, Eric, I used to think you were reasonably smart about people, not some gullible fool who thinks with this what? You know what? Nevermind. I am too polite to say something.

Yeah, well, I’m not too polite. To tell you, hey, that I’m tired of being battered and insulted. Stop stuff is right now.

Give me those. You’re up in arms of rebuttal of vitamins. Why? Why? Because it’s none of your business. You couldn’t have picked up a wrong kind. Nicole. Those are prescription. Well, there was a lady in front of me in line. Maybe they gave me her prescription by mistake. Yeah, I saw the label. Sweetie, add your name on it or are there too Nicole Walkers around this town?

God forbid. No, those vitamins were prescribed for you. Which means the only change of life you are going through is being pregnant.

You’re not saying anything. Oh my God, you are pregnant. Why would you tell Eric then that you’re going through menopause? Because he’s the baby daddy. No, you’re wrong as usual. Are you denying that you slept with him? Have you forgotten that I walked in on the two of you right after it happened? Yeah, because we ate those biscuits that you drugged.

We were wasted. You really are a piece of work. You know that. Oh, okay. Oh, play. What is that supposed to mean? It means whenever Jada Hunter got pregnant with Eric’s baby, you convinced her to get an abortion. And how did you do that? By asking her, do you really wanna be tied to a man who’s gonna spend the rest of his life with another woman?

That situation isn’t the same as this one. Oh, really? Of course not. Because when other women get pregnant with Eric’s baby, they have to get abortions. But not you. You’re so desperate to get him back that you would trick him into knocking you up for your information. I don’t even know if the baby is his

really. I could hear the two of you bickering all the way down the block. What are you fighting about? Oh, let me guess. It’s about Sloan. Yep. Brady just told me that she and Eric are a couple. So what, so what, huh? Who are you and what have you done with my mother? Like, I don’t like so many more than you do, but Eric was a grown man.

Thank you, mom. I’m not done yet. You know, when I, when I came back alive, what did I find the two of viewed each other’s throats. I had asked you please, to put your differences aside, but no, you couldn’t do that. So this is what I walk into. Listen, mom, you don’t understand. I do understand. I understand that life is way too short for me to be standing here playing the referee to two adults who are behaving like children.

You know, after all we’ve been through, I would’ve thought that, I don’t know, you’d be happy to be together, that we were all alive and a family and together. Maybe I was wrong. If you wanted to make me feel terrible, you’ve succeeded. I wanna talk some sense into you. Please. I know you’re having hard time with Sean, but don’t take it out on your brother.

Mom. Did you come in here for a reason or because you heard us arguing? I came in here to have lunch and enjoy myself. Somehow I’ve lost my appetite. Maybe I’ll just go back to the hospital where people really. Really need my help.

Why would your own sister turn on you like that? If you made a mistake about the time you got in that day, what’s the big deal? But Jada’s just frustrated. She really wants to know the person who did this to you. Okay. Well, it wasn’t you. I remember your first day at the bakery. You said it was the best day you’d had in a long time.

You love your work and you would never do anything to sabotage it. Yeah, but my sister sh, she just has a job to do. She caught me in what she thought was a lie, and then she followed up on it. I can’t believe how nice you’re being about this. Way nicer than I’d be if my sister accused me of committing a crime.

Yeah. Well, it’s over now. Okay, so what’s it matter? It doesn’t. And that is just one of the incredible things about you, how sweet and forgiving you are.

Why do you remember today, Bedford? I went back over the case file from Sloan’s Mother’s death. Her mother’s married name Martha Bedford. So why is Sloan’s name Peterson? Was she married? No, nothing that innocent Sloan just didn’t wanna alert Pauline that she was coming to. Town. So she used her mother’s maiden name, Peterson.

Wow. She really planned this whole thing out. So if Colin Firth is really Colin Bedford, is he related to Sloan? Martha Bedford had two children. The other one a son. Huh. We are so relieved, Mr. Fry, that the health department finally saw the light and. And sent you here, especially with this case, still look.

Mm-hmm. Well, it seems like whoever did drive those biscuits staying one step ahead of the cuffs. Um, the thing is, we know who it is, we just haven’t been able to prove it. So who was it? A woman named Sloan Peterson. Oh. She’s been after me and my daughters, and she showed up and. And for no good reason, really heard was for quite a good reason.

But, um, I don’t wanna assume anything but. Since we’re here alone, what would you think if we went to my bedroom? That way, if my mother and stepdad come back, we won’t be interrupted. But also, if you don’t want that, we can stay right here. I don’t know how heartbroken she’s gonna be. I mean, her last relationship was really serious.

And she seems to be moving on just fine. Yeah. Because of you and how irresistibly beautiful you are, her attraction to you is what’s helping her heal so quickly from that last breaker. So why don’t you go back there and finish what you started.

I don’t wanna get interrupted either.

Let’s go to

Colin Bedford has to be Sloan’s brother. That’s why he’s using another name. And he sure didn’t like us finding him at that motel. Yeah. Because he’s the one who’s been going after Pauline and Chanel and he’s been using my sister to do it. You know, I’m right. And that’s why we couldn’t pin this biscuit thing on Talia because she had no motive.

And now we know. She never had one but her boyfriend did. I beg your pardon? You heard Sloan was after us for a good reason. What good reason is that? I’m sorry, I, I didn’t mean to offend. It’s just something that I read in the papers. What exactly did you re just the, uh, Your daughter pushed Mrs. Peterson’s mother off the roof of a building.

Well, that just proved the paper is just lied. Bus sails. The truth is, what happened was an accident and my daughter did not do one thing to cause it. I see Martha Bedford, Lord Marsh, to that rooftop, and she attacked her because your daughter was having an affair with Mrs. Bedford’s husband. Isn’t that right?

Chanel was seduced by the professor. Professor Bedford was 20 years older than she was. I don’t call that an affair. He knew. She looked up to him and he took advantage. I see. I must be a little fuzzy on the details. Yes you are. Because back when Mrs. Bedford died, you hired a bunch of people to cover it up.

I’m really put us in our place. Me mostly, you know, I was a little defensive. I mean more than a li. It’s only because I came in here guns blazing, and Eric, listen, if I was on my high horse, it’s only because I’m worried about you and I can take care of myself, bill, I know you can, but none of us know Sloan that well or what kind of person she is.

Yeah. Well, I trust my own instincts. In all fairness to you and to everyone who thinks I’ve lost my mind. I know how this looks. Sloan has a history with Chanel and Paulina, and bad things are happening. Really bad things I know, but I’m sorry for those bad things happening. But ABIs like an uncle to me.

And if I thought Sloan had anything to do with Abe’s stepdaughter or his wife, I wouldn’t want to be with her. Okay. So you really believe that she’s innocent, you trust her? Yes, I do. And the more I’ve been with that person, the more I’ve gotten to know the person that she is. And the more that person I know would not do the things she’s been accused of.

Okay, then I will do my damnedest. Not to worry about you,

but you can still worry about me, Sean.

Is he still a wreck after what happened to his dad? Yeah, he just keeps saying over and over how he shot his own father and he is just tortured by it and, and he’s dealing with it all alone. And I, you know, I should have gone to Greece. I should be there with him. I should have cleared my schedule. Can you still go?

I don’t even know how to track him down. He won’t take my calls.

Sorry.

Well, this is why I’ve been so hard on you. I guess I figured if I couldn’t get my own life together, I should come in here and tell you how to live yours.

Then it might not be Eric’s baby. Have you forgotten that? I’m with EJ now. Oh. Oh. You’re just having unprotected sex with the both of them. Oh. Keep your voice down.

Look, you have stuck your nose in my business. And now you know the truth. Do you think it’s remotely possible that you could keep it to yourself? Why would I do that? You actually have to ask. Think about it. Do you really want Eric to know that I’m pregnant? Wouldn’t it make more sense for me to find out one way or another who the baby’s father is?

So if it is ejs and you keep your trap shut, then Eric never has to know that he was even in the running to be the baby’s father.

Okay. I will. I’ll keep your secret.

It is so good to see you. It is so good to see you too.

Sloan, I was so relieved when I found out you were still alive. Eric was in a lot of pain and he thought he’d lost you. I’m sorry that he had to go through that. Well, now that you’re back, we should do something if you and your husband are free, and Eric and myself could take you guys out to dinner some night.

I’ll talk to John. I know it would make Eric very happy to see the two of us getting to know one another. I really do care about your son. He’s a wonderful person.

Well, um, I’ll be on my way and, uh, I’ll be in touch. Sloan.

Oh. I think I’m gonna throw up, Talia said she broke up with Colin. Yeah. But we both know that she’s still in contact with him and she obviously didn’t want us to know that he’s Sloan’s brother. So who knows if anything else you can told us is true.

Wonder if, uh, Collins really got her under his spell, then he can make her do whatever he wants. I mean, you heard her, how she said how he makes her feel about herself. I mean, she was really shaken up. Uh, maybe it was her guilt talking. I wonder if she knows what a bastard he really is. And it’s hard to pull him in for questioning, but we have no idea where he is living since he checked outta that motel.

Yeah. I’m gonna track him down. I wanna talk to Talia first, confront her with what we know and see what she and this guy have been up to. I’m getting an uneasy feeling that you think my daughter is at fault in all of this. Why is that? I don’t care what he read in the tabloids. My stepdaughter is a victim in all of us.

So that’s how you see it. That’s how it is. No charges were ever brought against her or me. You know, the lawsuit that Sonn Peterson brought was thrown out and the jurisdictions in London and here in Salem both decided it’s over. For some people never will be. What does that mean? One, why is this? Sloan Peterson has no legal right to come after Chanel, and if she continues to do so, she’s going to face the consequences.

Damn right.

Look, I know this is a major step for you, so we will only go as far as you want. And if you wanna stop now, then that’s okay too. Babe, you are the best thing in my life. You’re the only thing that makes me feel a hole.

You understand how much I need you, right? How much I need you to do this for me. No, I want this just as much as you do.

Uh, you’re looking little pale. Should I help you to the restroom? No, no. It’s okay. I just got a little queasy for a minute, but I’m, I’m better now. Okay. Are you, um, are you ill, are you here to see a doctor? No, I just went to the dispensary to pick up a prescription. It’s Sloan that made me wanna puke. I’m sorry, Marlena.

I just can’t stand that woman. Your um, conversation seemed a little tense to me. Were you arguing? Not exactly. She was sticking her nose in something that is none of her business. Hmm. I did overhear her say that she was. Going to keep your secret.

Hey, I heard that nobody knows when or if Bo’s coming out of his coma. Sean must be going through hell yes, and so am I. But it’s still no excuse for me to to treat you like I did. I know I’ve done it to you more than a few times. But I know you were doing it because you were worried about me. Oh, Bella Eric.

Hi, Sloan. Are you having lunch? Uh, no. I just came by to see Eric. He says that you two are very happy together. Congratulations.

I think she turned her phone off. We have to find her. Well, she usually eats lunch at the pub, doesn’t she? Well, she did when the bakery was open, but at least it’s a place to start. Yeah.

Did I come on too strong? No, it’s, it’s me. Okay. I, I can’t do this.

Inspector, I don’t think you understand the magnitude of this situation. Then why don’t you enlighten me? Sloane Peterson, since she came to as Salem has terrorized my family. What happened here in this bakery? It is just the latest in the string of incidents. What kind of incidents? No. She trashed my office for one thing and then the threats started.

The first was a, a note with letters cut out of a magazine, and then I tried to get involved. I spoke to the police commissioner and I tried to reason with Eric Brady. Eric Brady, he’s the man that Sloan is involved with. His family might have been friends ever since Erica was a kid. And right after that, when I got home to Paul Lena, there was another text and this one said, your husband can’t help.

Like someone was watching every move we made, sort of having panic attacks. Oh, oh. The first one was so bad I went to the hospital. I thought it was my heart and, and I’m still getting threats. I just got one the other day. Was that really a threat? Watch your back. I could have just been, uh, a friendly warning.

What did you just say? Just. Whoever sent that text could have been looking out for you. That text, watch your back. That wasn’t in the papers, so how could you possibly know that? Oh my God, are you.

Sloan doesn’t like me anymore than I like her, and she said she would keep my secret just to get under my skin. Oh, sorry. I guess I misunderstood, but again, if you, if you wanna talk, I’m always in my office. Thank you, Marena. I, I actually don’t mind telling you. Eric told Sloan something that I told him that I’m in the early stages of menopause, and she just wanted to rub it in my face like it’s something to be embarrassed about.

Well, of course it isn’t, but I, I’m sorry. She upsets you with something so, so personal. And maybe that shows us what kind of woman she is. Anyway, the offer stands, my office and Tammy, you wanna talk? Thank you, Marlena. I will remember that. Please do. Okay.

Am I hallucinating or is Phil actually nice of your snow? Bill’s under a lot of stress and she’s still trying to accept that you and I are together. Will wonders, never sees you got your prescription filled. Um, yeah. Everything go okay at the hospital. What do you mean? Nothing. It’s just that you seem a little off.

Well, actually, I

Jayna. Very clear what’s going on. It’s good you’re here. We need to speak to you. It’s important.

Listen, listen. It’s okay. I meant it when I said I never want you to do anything that you’re not ready for. No. It’s not that, look, I have a confession to make.

Why do you want for honey if you’re here to hurt more accusations that you can’t back up? It’s not about Sloan, it’s about her brother,

baby, can you hear me? Why did you do that? I told you. If your husband couldn’t save you,

[ Relaxing music ]

[ Taylor clearing her throat ]

Taylor: Hey, stop. Come on, deacon. You’re– you’re all about creating new opportunities.

Deacon: Not the kind that you’re talking about.

Taylor: Look around you. Come on. You did all of this. Isn’t it amazing? Changes, just a few little things can make?

Deacon: Uh-huh.

Taylor: Yeah. Come on. You know, you– you– you saw an opportunity, you followed your heart. And now ii giardino is new and exciting.

Deacon: Why do I get the feeling that you’re not talking about my new menu?

Taylor: Okay, well, I kind of am. I’m– I’m– but I’m talking about your– your personal menu. See now that– now that brooke and I have sworn off of ridge, she might be into trying an old favorite again. Could be really great for both of you.

Steffy: Yeah. Dad cast a pretty long shadow in all of our lives.

Rj: It’s definitely pretty hard to ignore, that’s for sure.

Steffy: Yeah. He can be relentless.

Rj: Is that how you became co-ceo?

Steffy: Hey, I’ve had my eye on that chair for a long time, all right?

Rj: And it suits you. My sister, the reigning queen of fashion.

Steffy: Wow. Okay. Don’t let your mom hear you calling me that.

Rj: Oh, come on. She’s not territorial or competitive about stuff like that anymore.

Steffy: Um, you say that, but it kinda sounds like you still want your mom backbo with dad. Is that what you meant, rj?

Sheila: You saved my life. My heart stopped beating. I– I was fading away, but you pulled me back, my son. I can’t thank you enough for that. You couldn’t let me slip away, finn because I know that somewhere deep inside of you, you still love me.

Finn: I told you. I saved your life because that’s what I do. I treated you like any other patient in my emergency room.

Sheila: I know you did, but I really have to believe that somewhere in that big beautiful heart of yours, you haven’t forgotten that I’m your birth mother. That I am the woman that brought you into this world.

Rj: I’m not matchmaking.

Steffy: Good. ‘Cause it never turns out the way you think it will.

Rj: I know. I’m– I’m– you know. I’m not trying to get involved in any of the family drama either. It’s one of the reasons why I was away for so long. I really– I just wanna make sure that my mom’s actually happy.

Steffy: I get that.

Brooke: Rj!

Rj: Hey, mom. How’re you?

Brooke: I didn’t know you were here in the office. Oh, what a wonderful surprise.

Rj: We were, um, we were actually just talking about you a little bit.

Deacon: So you’re telling me that you really think brooke would take me back?

Taylor: You say that like it’s impossible.

Deacon: You know, you and i both know that even if ridge isn’t hanging around, he’s always in the picture.

Taylor: Oh, okay. But things have changed.

Deacon: Yeah. I’ll tell you what’s changed. She’s hanging out with my boy, hollis.

Taylor: They shared a few kisses.

Deacon: Okay. Didn’t know that.

Taylor: Okay. Brooke doesn’t want hollis. She’s made that very clear. She wants to be with someone who knows her. Someone she shares a history with. Can you think of anyone that fits the description? We live our lives on our home’s fabrics.

Finn: I don’t need to be reminded you’re my birth mother. Oh, by the way, spoke to my dad. Told me you wanted him to get you outta here?

Sheila: I just want another opportunity to show you that I– I can be a good, healthy influence in your life and hayes’.

Finn: After all the horrific things that you have done?

Sheila: I’m still family.

Finn: You shot me, sheila.

Sheila: It was an accident.

Finn: And you tried to kill steffy. You confessed to murder! That’s why you’re in here! And it’s why you’re never getting out. There is no future with us. There’s no role for you to play in my life. This– this is your life now. You are gonna spend the rest of it in a prison cell.

Brooke: Rj, I am touched that my happiness means so much to you.

Rj: I’m sorry. I’m not trying to put you on the spot or anything. I’m just curious. I’m sure steffy is too.

Steffy: No, no, no, no. I– I asked you if you were playing matchmaker. He’s not. Thankfully.

Rj: That is truE. I am not. I just wanna know if, you know, the door is completely closed on the future with dad or not.

Steffy: Okay. There’s my cue to leave.

Brooke: Oh, no. You don’t have to leave. This is your office. I don’t have anything to say about ridge that I wouldn’t share with you.

Steffy: I just feel as though this might be a private conversation between you and rj. Plus, I have to go see finn.

Brooke: Is everything okay?

Steffy: Yeah. I just– he had to take care of something and I just wanna make sure he’s okay. Yeah. All right. Bye.

Rj: Bye. Okay. We’re completely alone. You can be totally honest with me, okay? This whole pact that you made with taylor, do you ever wish that you hadn’t made it?

Taylor: Oh, my god. I– I think that you think that I am trying to take advantage of this situation.

Deacon: Are you? I mean, I thought you and brooke have this agreement.

Taylor: This agreement is why I’m having this conversation with you.

Deacon: Trying to convince me that brooke would give me another shot.

Taylor: Trying to remind you that you miss all the shots you don’t take.

Deacon: I’m just curious why you’re encouraging me.

Taylor: Because brooke’s my friend, and I care about her a lot. And– and she’s never without a guy, you know. I– I–

Deacon: Will you pinky swear that you’re not just using me to distract brooke so you can get to ridge? Come on.

Taylor: I care about ridge.

Deacon: Uh-huh.

Taylor: He is the father of my children, but this is not about ridge.

Deacon: Who is it about?

Taylor: Oh, my god. You. Deacon, you. About you living your best life. Getting everything you deserve.

Deacon: With brooke. Postmenopausal women with hr+ her2-

Finn: No more letters. No more email.

Sheila: You don’t even have to respond. I– I’m– I’m hoping that over time you’re gonna understand, you’re gonna realize that I am not your enemy. There’s so much that I have to say. Finn, there’s so much that I want you to know. What– what I felt like when I– I found out that I was pregnant with you. The– the hopes that I had for your future. How I wanted to raise you.

Finn: I came– I came to tell you to leave me and my family alone. I won’t visit you again. This is the last time we’ll ever see each other.

Sheila: No. No, no, finn. Don’t do this to me.

Finn: You did this. You put yourself in this position by your own actions. So use this time, better yourself. Not for me. Prove to yourself that you can be a positive influence on the world, even from a prison cell. Goodbye.

Sheila: No.

Finn: Guard.

Sheila: No, no, no, no, no. Finn, I– I love you. I love you more than anything. This is not over.

Sheila: You’ll see me again. You will see me again.

Brooke: My agreement with taylor isn’t something that I regret.

Rj: And you wouldn’t change it if you could?

Brooke: You weren’t here when my marriage fell apart. Ridge left me to go back to taylor, and then he left her at the altar.

Rj: I know. I know that was– that was painful for you and for taylor. Look, I’m not trying to get you guys back together, mom. I love your independence. I wanna see you happy and satisfied with being on your own. I support that 100%. And if you and dad, you– you choose to move on and to live separate lives, I’ll support that too, but if and only if it’s what you want and you are choosing it for you because it’s gonna make you happy.

Brooke: I told you that I’m happy.

Rj: I know, but come on, mom. I’m your son. You can just talk to me. It’s between us. Don’t you still see dad as your soulmate? You know, your destiny?

Brooke: You know the answer to that, but I made a pact with taylor and I intend to keep it.

Deacon: Is this a therapy session or a pep talk?

Taylor: It is a thera-pep talk.

Deacon: A hybrid thing, okay.

Taylor: That’s exactly what it is. Do you want the psych 101 analysis?

Deacon: Well, you’re gonna give it to me anyway, so let’s hear it.

Taylor: You suffer from low self-esteem.

Deacon: Well, don’t hold back. Thanks.

Taylor: I’m not going to. No, but you know, you beat yourself up for the questionable choices that you’ve made in life or the women that you’ve been with.

Deacon: You don’t even wanna know.

Taylor: No, no, I don’T. But look how you’ve turned your life around. Ii giardino is– is booming. You’re the talk of the town.

Deacon: I mean, it is pretty incredible, isn’t it?

Taylor: It is incredible. And it’s probably unbelievable to you because–

Deacon: The– the low self-esteem.

Taylor: See? You’re a quick study. Wow. You know what? You deserve all of this. You’re– you’re a good guy now. You’re– you’re smart, funny. You’re business savvy. You’re not terrible to look at and you’re somebody that brooke has– has loved. You’re the father of one of her kids. Don’t doubt yourself. Stop wondering what you can bring to the table. You are the damn table.

Deacon: Well, I mean, nothing screams sexy like a table, so got that going for me. The table?

Taylor: Yes. [ Laughs ] This isn’t charmin! No wonder I don’t feel as clean.

Steffy: So how was it seeing sheila?

Finn: Like I expected. She thanked me for saving her life. Got all emotional about it. Told her I was just doing my job. But you know, she made it about herself and our relationship.

Steffy: I’m not surprised.

Finn: You don’t need to worry, okay? I made it absolutely clear that sheila will have no part of our life ever again. I just wanna… forget her. You know, like completely.

Sheila: I will be free again. With my son and his family.

Rj: Do you ever think about dad?

Brooke: Oh, yes. Yes. And I’m sure taylor does too. But we’re just not going to fight over him anymore. That is over.

Rj: And you’re– you’re happy about that?

Brooke: Oh, yes.

Rj: And if you and dad never get back together again, you’d be happy with that too? I’m– I’m– I’m not lobbying for a reunion. All I care about is how you feel, okay?

Brooke: My sweet boy. Always looking out for me.

Rj: So you are happy with this pact that you made with taylor?

Brooke: Mm-hmm. Yeah. It was a decision that we made together and it was time to move on. I wasn’t coerced or pressured into it. Taylor and I wanna put our friendship first. We wanna put faith in ourselves and in each other. I don’t have any reservations about that. I trust taylor completely.

Deacon: All right. I gotta admit it. You are pretty good at this.

Taylor: I am literally world-renowned, so. You know, I saw the way that your face lit up when you were talking about hope. How much you love her and how proud you are of her.

Deacon: I am so proud of her. I– I– she’s accomplished so much and I just– I can’t believe the woman that she’s become.

Taylor: And you don’t think she’s as proud of you?

Deacon: Yeah, no, I do. I– I– yeah. Yeah. And that means everything to me.

Taylor: Wouldn’t it be cool if you could– if you could put her family back together, you know? I mean, come on. Brooke was the– the great love of your life. You must still love her.

Deacon: I think I’m always gonna love her. I mean, we had some incredible times together. Some of the best of my life. You really think that I got a shot with brooke again?

Taylor: You know, I– I think I do. You’ve set yourself up here, you know, to– to hit the target, but you won’t actually know unless you take the shot. I mean, she– she was in love with you once. She obviously still cares about you. I don’t know, maybe you could just go over to– to visit hope and– and spend time as a family and– and see if there’s anything there.

Deacon: And that opens things up with ridge for you.

Taylor: Oh, god. Look, it’s like you said about brooke. I love ridge. I always will, but… you know, brooke and ridge, they– they’ve been trying to make this destiny thing work for a really long time and it’s never stuck. God, do I wish that things could have been different for ridge and me? Yeah, I do. But they’re not. That doesn’t mean that I’m trying to manipulate the situation for my benefit. What I saw earlier was a– was a sweet spark with you and brooke. I don’t know, maybe there’s an old flame burning in there. An opportunity to turn that into a– a wildfire. And, I don’t know, maybe– maybe have the life you’ve always dreamed about.

Deacon: With brooke?

Taylor: No, the lady at table eight. Yes. With brooke.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Chanel makes breakfast for Abe and Paulina. Paulina talks about still having what she made yesterday and before. Chanel complains that she needs a new hobby and admits it’s crazy to be making all this stuff for just them now that she’s unemployed. Paulina talks about the time it’s taking to find evidence against Sloan but encourages that Abe is pulling every string he can to get the health department off her back so that she can reopen Sweet Bits Bakery. Abe knows the process isn’t going as fast as they would like, but they have to go through the proper channels. Paulina complains about wanting the police to do their job. Paulina calls it unfair that Chanel is punished when she’s a victim too and remarks that it’s not like anyone at Sweet Bits tampered with the biscuits. Chanel agrees and states that she can’t believe Jada suspected her own sister of being involved.

Jada returns to Colin’s motel room but finds Rafe there instead, who says he’s there doing the same thing that she is.

Colin and Talia lay in bed together. Colin talks about wanting to stay like this forever and how the bed is way better than the awful motel. Talia knows no one saw them check in late last night since it was after midnight, but he’s staying in the middle of town which makes her worry. Colin gets a call from Sloan but ignores it. Colin tells Talia that this is the only option and says it’s not just because her sister showed up asking questions, but because his did too.

Sloan leaves a message for Colin, saying she needs to make sure he left town. Sloan knows he had other plans but assures this is for the best. Sloan says to call her when she gets this and that she loves him as she hangs up. Eric comes out of the shower and says he couldn’t help but overhear her conversation so he asks who she was talking to and what that was all about.

Anna joins Nicole in the living room of the DiMera Mansion. Anna asks how she’s feeling and if she has any morning sickness yet. Nicole says no but just a little panic stricken. Anna knows she has entrusted her secret with her and she’s very honored that she has earned her confidence, but she has a confession to make. Anna says it was an accident and that she didn’t mean to do it so she asks Nicole not to be upset with her. Nicole worries that Anna told EJ that she is pregnant. Anna assures that she didn’t tell EJ or anyone else that she’s pregnant but reveals that the chain broke on the necklace that she lent her. Nicole tells her not to worry about it. Anna assures that she will get it fixed and get it back to her. Anna remembers how upset she was when Susan broke her crystal heart. Anna then asks if Nicole is keeping this secret forever and points out that she’s going to be showing soon. Nicole doesn’t know and asks if it matters if she tells anyone if she can’t carry the baby to term but if she can, then it matters and that’s why she’s panicking. Nicole adds that she made an appointment with Kayla for a paternity test but that’s not for a couple of weeks. Anna knows she asked who Nicole hoped the father is and she said she didn’t care as long as the baby is healthy. Anna then guesses that Nicole hopes the baby is Eric’s.

Sloan tells Eric that she can explain. Eric says he didn’t mean to pry but he heard her say I love you. Sloan admits she was leaving a message for her brother. Eric notes that she hasn’t mentioned him in a long time and asks if everything is okay.

Talia questions Colin about his sister knowing he’s in town. Colin explains that Sloan overheard Jada talking to Rafe about some British guy at the motel and Sloan figured everything out. Colin adds that Sloan was pretty upset about being the prime suspect in all of the crimes against Chanel and Paulina. Colin tells her that Sloan’s boyfriend ate one of the biscuits and slept with another woman while under the influence. Colin states that Sloan was so upset that she told him that he didn’t get out of town and call the whole thing off, she would go to the police and tell them about his involvement. Talia realizes that is why Colin was packing last night. Colin admits he was going to cut his losses and take off, but then Talia came back and told him how hard Chanel had fallen for her and he realized he can’t leave now. Talia asks why not, arguing that Chanel’s bakery is shut down and he scared the hell out of Paulina with those threats. Talia feels it’s the perfect time to get out before they get caught.

Chanel says she’s so relieved that Talia has been cleared even though it made no sense for the police to suspect her in the first place. Abe notes that Talia had reasonable explanations for all of Jada’s questions. Paulina feels Talia was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, so Chanel doesn’t need to worry about her as she will be fine. Chanel is glad as she has plenty of other things to worry about. Melinda Trask then shows up at the door and says she’s here to see Abe. Abe questions the district attorney making house calls. Melinda says she has some rather delicate matters to discuss with him outside of City Hall. Melinda adds that it concerns Paulina and Chanel as well. Chanel asks what’s going on. Melinda thinks they will be on the same page for once. Melinda then announces that she needs Abe to fire Rafe Hernandez.

Jada asks if Rafe came to talk Colin away from her sister. Rafe says that and to warn him to leave town as he figured a stern talking to from the police commissioner might convince him to do the right thing, but he was gone when he got there and had checked out late last night. Jada notes that was right after she started asking questions. Rafe notes that he checked out using his same alias of Colin Firth and paid in cash. Jada calls him scum for how he treated her sister. Jada feels like it sounds like there must be something more to this. Rafe feels it could be something criminal.

Abe questions why the hell he would fire Rafe. Melinda argues that the Sweet Bits debacle is far from Rafe’s first abject failure. Melinda believes she speaks for the people of Salem when she says enough is enough. Abe reminds her that Rafe was also poisoned by the biscuits and has every incentive to solve this case which he has worked very hard to do. Abe adds that Sloan might be their lead suspect but there is not a shred of evidence, so they may never be able to prosecute this case. Melinda argues that she could with the proper support from the police department. Melinda says she needs someone in this job who will get things done and isn’t afraid to bend the rules to do so. Abe supposes she has someone in mind. Melinda reveals she wants Paulina to take over.

Talia tells Colin that they can go back to New York where she can start working as a doctor again and they can get their lives back. Colin says when this is all over, they will do that but they can’t pull the plug now. Colin adds that Sloan doesn’t know anything about Talia with Chanel, so they don’t have to abandon that part of the plan, especially when Talia is so close to breaking Chanel’s heart. Talia says she really hates to disappoint him or let him down, but she can’t take this anymore as she doesn’t want to do this.

Sloan tells Eric that everything is fine with her brother and she just likes to check in on him every so often since he’s had it kind of rough. Eric notes that she mentioned that before but didn’t go in to details. Sloan talks about not knowing much of his childhood because of the age difference and then when she went to high school, he moved away to London with their parents when her dad became a professor there. Sloan tells Eric that after their parents died, she thinks it was even worse for him as it really changed him. Sloan says she was totally derailed by it but his grief and anger completely took him over to the extent that he could barely even function. Sloan asks what Eric is thinking. Eric hates to even say it but asks if it’s possible that her brother could be the one going after Paulina and Chanel.

Nicole asks how Anna could say that she hopes the father is Eric when she’s trying not to go there. Nicole doesn’t want to fixate on whose baby she is carrying or who she wants it to be and that’s why she is panicking because she doesn’t know what to do, think, or expect. Nicole cries that her stupid drugged one night stand with Eric has really messed up her life. Nicole adds that what’s making her panic more is that she’s likely to miscarry because the odds of her are carrying a baby to term are practically zero. Anna brings up Holly but Nicole reveals that Chloe was her surrogate which Anna had no idea of. Nicole explains that she and Daniel had froze her embryos because she had already had two miscarriages. Nicole talks about how she didn’t want anything to do with EJ in the second one and both times, he was livid with her. Nicole thought she put all that pain behind her but now being pregnant has brought back all the possibility and fear. Anna encourages that medicine has come a long way in the last few years. Anna declares that what was impossible back then might not be impossible now and maybe she can have a successful, healthy pregnancy after all. Nicole says she’s read articles about advanced medicine and she knows even with high risk pregnancy, that there is a likelihood of a positive outcome more than a few years ago but she doesn’t want to get her hopes up or Eric’s. Anna asks why she’d be worried about getting Eric’s hopes up. Nicole explains that Eric always wanted to be a dad and first he lost McKenzie, then Jada was pregnant but got an abortion, and the only reason they aren’t together is because he blames her. Anna argues that was Jada’s choice. Nicole says if Eric is the father and she does have a miscarriage, she will feel like she’s taking yet another child away from him.

Sloan questions why Eric would even ask her that when he knows nothing about her brother. Eric points out that she just told him that he was more traumatized than she was by what happened and that his anger took over him completely in the aftermath of their deaths. Sloan admits maybe he has motive, but insists that he has nothing to do with those crimes since he’s nowhere near Salem.

Colin mocks Talia for saying she doesn’t want to do this anymore. Colin complains that she was on board with their plan when they came to Salem. Talia argues that it’s different now and that Chanel and Paulina are nice to her. Talia complains that she’s the one that has to look in Chanel’s eyes and kiss her and shower her with compliments and it just feels wrong. Colin asks how she thinks he felt when he found out his mother jumped to her death from a roof or when he found out that she was pushed by the same person who seduced his dad or when Paulina paid to have everything covered up so Chanel wouldn’t have to face the consequences. Colin argues that now the mayor is on her side trying to open up the Bakery again which means she’s going to get away with it again if Talia doesn’t help him. Colin thought she understood how important this was to him and why he has to do this to honor his parent’s memory and get justice for them. Colin declares that if he doesn’t, he won’t be able to live with himself. Colin thought Talia was on his side but remarks that obviously he was wrong.

Paulina questions Melinda wanting her to be the police commissioner. Melinda assumes Paulina is willing to do whatever it takes to put Sloan behind bars. Abe argues that Paulina cannot and will not go after that position. Abe adds that there would be blatant nepotism and he believes in her capabilities but he appointed Rafe as commissioner because he believes in him and that hasn’t changed. Melinda calls that a shame and predicts that him being soft on crime will get Abe creamed in the next election. Melinda then exits as Paulina remarks so much for her shiny new badge.

Jada tells Rafe that maybe Colin is gone or maybe he’s not, but she doesn’t want to take any chances of him finding his way back in to Talia’s life since the whole thing with the drugged up biscuits. Jada knows Talia gave all the right answers to their questions even if there were red flags. Jada says they kept questioning what her motive would be to sabotage the Bakery. Rafe asks if she’s thinking Colin is involved in this. Jada doesn’t know but she hopes not. Rafe bets he has a record and suggests checking the room for fingerprints as he has his kit in the car. Jada comments that it looks like the room has been cleaned. Rafe disagrees as he points to a desk in the room. Rafe notes that they haven’t even emptied the trash. Jada says in that case, they will not only pick up Colin’s prints but Talia’s as well and anyone else that has been in and out of the place. Rafe stops and finds a razor in the trash, betting they will get his prints off of that.

Talia tells Colin that she is on his side and he knows this. Talia adds that she hates how he had to suffer his mother’s murder and his dad dying, so she understands why he wants to get justice for them. Talia asks him not to be mad at her. Colin knows how difficult this has been for her to have to seduce someone she despises and she’s not even attracted to women while only having eyes for him. Colin calls her the best thing in his life and asks if she understands how much he needs her to do this for him. Talia says she does. Colin knows how much he has asked of her and says she’s been so supportive and understanding. Colin encourages that they are almost at the finish line at the end.

Abe jokes to Paulina that her current job pays a hell of a lot more than police commissioner. Paulina admits she admires his loyalty to Rafe. Abe says he’s loyal to him because he’s good at his job and complains about Melinda. Abe decides they won’t talk any more about Melinda as he’s going to put her out of his mind and go to the office. Paulina decides she will do the same. Chanel wishes she could do the same. Paulina knows how hard it is and how she wishes she could just go work at the Bakery. Abe encourages her that they want her to get back to running her wonderful business. Paulina assures that she will soon. Paulina suggests Chanel go shower and get ready for her day because they always feel better when dressed for success. Paulina promises the world will seem a lot brighter. Chanel reluctantly agrees to do so. Paulina knows how bleak it seems but says you never know what the day might bring.

Eric apologizes to Sloan if he upset her by suggesting that her brother could have something to do with the crimes against Paulina and Chanel. Sloan repeats that it doesn’t make sense since he’s not in Salem and nowhere close. Sloan then asks if Eric is going to get dressed today. Eric guesses that would be a good idea but Sloan says that’s not the answer she was hoping for. Sloan asks if he was a little jealous at first when he heard her say I love you on the phone. Eric claims he doesn’t get jealous but then admits maybe he was a bit as they start kissing and Eric drops his towel.

Nicole cries to Anna that she feels so alone which is ironic since she’s with child, so she’s not really alone at all. Anna encourages that she has her too. Nicole says she’s very thankful but complains that what is supposed to make her happy and be a blessing and a miracle is just making her sad, confused, and sleepy. Anna calls that very normal in the first trimester. Nicole wants coffee but Anna says she has to start taking care of herself and the baby which means no caffeine or alcohol and she has to start taking pre-natal vitamins as soon as possible. Anna instructs Nicole to call Kayla and get a prescription for those vitamins which she agrees to do. Anna knows it’s difficult for her but encourages that EJ is crazy about her, so if the baby is his, he will take care of them both 100%. Anna adds that Eric has always wanted to be a dad, so no matter what the complications are, he’ll be thrilled and also be there for them every step of the way. Anna declares that no matter what, this baby is going to bring a whole lot of joy to whomever as they hug. Nicole jokes that she’s sugarcoating that but she’s grateful as Anna definitely lifted her spirits as only she can. Anna promises that things are going to look up.

Jada and Rafe go to the police station to wait on the fingerprints from the motel. Rafe gets the results in on his laptop but finds out Colin doesn’t have a record after all.

Talia gets dressed and Colin tells her that she looks gorgeous as always. Talia asks what he will be doing while she’s with Chanel. Colin says he will stay here and keep the bed warm, waiting to celebrate her success. Talia questions that being it since he said that breaking Chanel’s heart wouldn’t be enough and would only be the beginning of him getting justice. Colin declares that their sisters kind of blew that plan to Hell. Colin adds that he told Sloan that he was done and would drop the plan and he’s a man of his word. Colin kisses Talia and wishes her luck. Colin tells her that he loves her. Talia says she loves him too and then exits.

Paulina tells Abe that she doesn’t know how much more of this Chanel can take. Abe then gets a call. Abe says that’s great and he’ll be right there. Abe thanks them and hangs up. Abe announces pressure from the mayor’s office has finally paid with results as the health inspector has agreed to meet him at the Bakery right now for a new inspection and if everything goes as expected, he will consider reopening on a conditional basis. Paulina excitedly calls that wonderful and says Chanel will be thrilled. Abe adds that he wants Paulina too as the owner of the building. Paulina thinks Chanel should be there too but then decides that she doesn’t want to get her hopes up, so they should wait until they’re sure it’s good news to tell her. Abe and Paulina then exit together.

Eric and Sloan lay in bed after having sex. Sloan’s alarm goes off to remind her to take her birth control pill. Sloan takes it and comments that she will have to get it refilled. Sloan then tells Eric that she can’t help but wonder if he and Nicole used protection on the night that they were together. Eric tells her that she doesn’t have to worry because there’s no way Nicole is pregnant. Eric then informs Sloan that Nicole just found out she’s going through early menopause which relieves Sloan as she calls her that poor old thing.

Anna asks Nicole if she should stay with her. Nicole assures that she’s fine and that Anna has cheered her up. Anna hopes so because she has a knack for putting her foot in it sometimes as she did a few times here by trying to pressure her in to telling her who she hopes the father of the baby is which is not what she needs to worry about right now. Nicole knows she was trying to help her figure things out. Anna jokes that she was just being nosey. Nicole understands she was just interested. Anna thanks her for being kind and understanding. Anna asks if she’s sure it’s okay for her to leave her which she assures. Anna says she is praying for her and the baby. Anna adds that she has seen what a wonderful mother she is to Holly, so she knows the baby is going to be very lucky no matter what. Nicole thanks her as Anna then exits.

Talia goes to see Chanel and asks if it’s a bad time since she didn’t call first. Chanel says she has nothing but time and Abe and Paulina just left for the office, so she is all by herself but not anymore as she invites Talia in. Chanel brings up Paulina telling her that she never knows what the day might bring and she’s glad she listened, because it brought Talia.

Jada doesn’t know whether to be relieved that Colin is clean or disappointed that they hit a dead end. Rafe says he was sure that Colin would come back with a list of priors and notes that he doesn’t know of any previous jurisdiction. Jada notes that they’d be there all year if they ran them through every one. Jada adds that they don’t even know if there’s been a crime here. Rafe then remembers that Colin is British and says it looks like they have a match.

Paulina and Abe go to the Bakery. Paulina talks about how cheerful the place used to be and now she hates to see it so empty. Abe hopes it won’t be for long. The “health inspector” that arrives turns out to be Colin pretending to be from the health department.

Anna runs in to Eric outside of the Brady Pub and says it’s nice to see him again. Anna mentions just buying wine from the liquor store and rambles on about it. Eric notes that she seems a bit nervous. Anna claims she’s very calm and tells him to have a wonderful day as she hurries on.

Nicole goes to the hospital and bumps in to Sloan. Sloan picks up what Nicole dropped and sees they are pre-natal vitamins.

Michael: Did you get any sleep last night?

Lauren: Ugh. Barely. I’m just still reeling by what you’ve said to me. Phyllis is still alive? How is that even possible? I mean, do you believe it?

Michael: Daniel was very convincing.

Lauren: You said that he knew something that only phyllis or the police would know?

Michael: True.

Lauren: What was it? Can you tell me?

Michael: He knew that stark had been murdered with a pair of scissors. That isn’t public knowledge.

Lauren: God.

Michael: And daniel has no reason to lie to me. None that I know of.

Lauren: So, who else knows besides jack and kyle?

Michael: And you. I’m hoping that’s it. Jack and kyle need to keep this from diane and and summer, for now. I need to search for more evidence. And I wanted to be able to talk this out with you since I knew you are discreet. And since this whole scenario is frankly insane.

Lauren: Or it’s more treacherous than you’re even thinking about. Because for phyllis to go to these lengths, she could not have done it willingly, could she?

Kyle: Hey, you’re dressed for work?

Summer: Yeah, I figured I had to get back to normal at some point, right?

Kyle: Guess so.

Summer: Thank you for giving me space again last night. My head was exploding from what you told me. And I– I just needed some time to think.

Kyle: I understand. I hope it was just for the one night though ’cause I want to be here for you summer.

Summer: I know.

Kyle: I know you got hit with some shocking news. All I ask is that you talk to me and tell me how you feel about it because if we’re gonna get through this together, you can’t keep shutting me out. I feel like I don’t even know you right now and I don’t know what to do about it.

Nikki: You’re in quite the mood this morning.

Victoria: Yes, I am because of all of the good news you’ve brought me. Nikki: Hm. Why do I get the feeling it has nothing to do with work and everything to do with nate?

[ Nate sighing ]

Audra: Two creams, one sugar.

Nate: Audra, let’s get one thing straight.

Audra: What’s that?

Nate: What the hell were you thinking? Setting up elena that way?

Audra: Uh, excuse me?

Nate: Don’t play coy with me. You sent her to L.A. Knowing she could get her heart broken. What is wrong with you? Lactaid is 100% real milk,

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Diane: You might want to rethink that nasty attitude since we’re about to become family.

Ashley: You don’t know the meaning of the word, diane. So, I understand why you’re confused, but we will never be family.

Diane: Uh, jack was ready to marry me in jail. This marriage is definitely going to happen.

Ashley: There’s no explaining stupidity, diane. You’re going back to jail, so don’t think that we’re gonna be having any family time together, okay?

Diane: It won’t ever come to that.

Ashley: Well, you’re delusional as usual.

Diane: We’ll see.

Ashley: What are you talking about? There’s so much evidence against you.

Diane: Then I guess we have to agree to disagree.

Ashley: Why are you so certain?

Diane: Oh, do I seem confident that I’m not going to prison?

Ashley: You do? So, what are you up to?

Diane: I’m not up to anything. I have innocence on my side along with michael, kyle, and jack.

Summer: Kyle, I love you so much. It’s never been my intention to shut you out. It’s just– I don’t know. My mind has been so jumbled. So, if you could just give me a little bit more time.

Kyle: This is hard for me too, summer. Watching you and my mom suffer, feeling powerless to help. I mean, until today I thought you were punishing me for what my mom did, but now we know it was all a set up, so she didn’t actually do anything to phyllis.

Summer: Sorry, do we actually know that? Look I know that my mom is supposedly alive, but there hasn’t been some joyful, miraculous reunion. I don’t– I don’t get to see her or touch her or talk to her. Look, if this is true, then things are gonna get better, right? They have to, but it’s not gonna happen overnight, and right now, I’m sorry, I have to go.

Kyle: Well, let me grab my stuff, we can drive in together.

Summer: No, I have to do something before I go to work. Um, I’ll meet you there.

Victoria: I am well aware of your thoughts on nate. So, why don’t we just fast forward through that? Oh, I have an idea, new topic. How about how dad’s just handed adam an entire kingdom?

Nikki: [ Sighing ] Why do you even care about that?

Victoria: Because it’s going to end in a disaster.

Nikki: Well, so what if it does? It’s no skin off your nose?

Victoria: Mm, I see. So, now you’re rooting for adam.

Nikki: Not at all, but this is important to your father, so why don’t you just let him have it without all the bitter comments?

Victoria: Mccall unlimited would have dovetailed nicely into all of our divisions. I– I just gave up on it too easily. Just let it fall right into adam’s clutches.

Nikki: Oh, my god. You sound more like your father every day. Like it’s not enough to want the world, but you want to conquer everything. And your opponent must lose, as if their losing makes your victory even sweeter.

Victoria: Are we still talking about mccall unlimited? Because if this is about nate, I think maybe I should be offended.

Audra: It was elena’s idea to fly out and confront you. I didn’t send her to los angeles.

Nate: But you made damn sure she knew I wasn’t out there alone. That I was with victoria, even though it was a business trip.

Audra: How was I supposed to know you kept that detail from her? And why did you? Once elena made the decision, who was I to talk her out of it? She was hell bent on finding you.

Nate: Stop trying to justify your actions, audra. You lit the match knowing it would upset her.

Audra: Elena was already suspicious. You’d fallen out of love with her. Oh, don’t deny it. I could read the signs and so could elena. Look, as devastating as this breakup is for her, isn’t it really what’s best for everyone?

Nate: It shouldn’t have gone down like that. She didn’t deserve to be treated this way.

Audra: I suggest you let it go, let her go. Like trust me, elena is gonna be fine without you. You two just weren’t a– a match, that’s all. And even if this thing didn’t happen with victoria, you know, I doubt your girlfriend would have been able to get behind your new vision for the future.

Nate: Which is what exactly?

Audra: You don’t think I figured it out? I know what you’re up to. Newman media isn’t enough, you want his and her thrones running the kingdom alongside victoria.

Are you tired

of washing dishes?

Audra: You’ve done an impressive job so far, making the transition from medicine to business. Still, you know, who would have thought you’d rise this far this fast? And yet, you have. And now, you’re completely in with victoria, personally, as well as professionally, while making it seem like it was the boss lady driving it all along. Hm. Well done, you.

Nate: Are you finished?

Audra: Uh, is there more to the story?

Nate: From my vantage point, yes. You seem to have some facts wrong.

Audra: Enlighten me.

Nate: The way things evolved with victoria was not calculated. We had a connection that just exploded. It took us both by surprise, but it’s strong, audra, and it’s real.

Audra: That sounds lovely.

Nate: Last night, I told her she was the most amazing woman I have ever met and that is the truth.

Audra: Uh, I believe you. Yeah, I’ve seen it, felt it in the room when you were both there. I won’t lie, um, I was a little disappointed at first because I felt an attraction to you from the beginning.

Nate: What? Is that the reason you pushed elena to go to L.A. To come after victoria and me? Did you think if you blew up our relationship, it’d somehow clear a path for you? Nikki: Well, your conscience must be bothering you because I wasn’t thinking of nate at all.

Victoria: Some people say I don’t have a conscience.

Nikki: Well, I know that that’s not true, even though that is the image you like to project. In reality, you are much more considerate than you want people to realize.

Victoria: Just have take your word for that, mom.

Nikki: Okay, I know you don’t want to hear this, but I’m going to say it anyway.

Victoria: I’m sure you are. Go ahead.

Nikki: Have you given any thought at all to elena?

Victoria: You know, I have to get to the office. There’s some things that I need to take care of, but please stay. No rush. Finish your coffee.

Nikki: Victoria–

Victoria no, I insist, mom.

Nikki: Oh, honey, come on.

[ Nikki sighing ]

Lauren: I just keep going back and forth and back and forth with how I feel about all this.

Michael: Which part?

Lauren: Everything. I mean, I’m so thrilled that my best friend could possibly be alive, but how could she do this to us? Why would she do this to us? The way we’ve been grieving, I– I mean, phyllis would never.

Michael: Mm… I wouldn’t be too sure about that. You saw how she was spinning out. She was mad at the world and fighting with everybody and where diane was concerned, please.

Lauren: She was unhinged. And I’m no fan of diane’s, but phyllis could have taken it down a notch or two.

Michael: Ergo, perhaps it’s plausible that phyllis went all out to turn the tables, subject diane to the exact same type of hell she went through.

> Lauren: The perfect revenge.

Michael: It is brilliant, if horrible.

Lauren: I really hope that phyllis is still alive… but to knowingly break our hearts? I mean, how do we come back from this? How does she?

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: Hey. Thank you for meeting me here. I– I had to see you.

Chance: Yeah, it sounded urgent. What’s going on?

Summer: First of all, I– I know that this sounds crazy. I– I don’t even know what to think about it, but I’m just, I’m wondering if you’ve heard the same rumor that I have? Do I need to be more specific?

Chance: No, christine told me. Daniel saw phyllis alive.

Summer: I mean…

Chance: Look summer, given that this came from jack, someone who has a vested interest and someone who I no longer trust, my initial reaction was that this was just some ploy to get diane off the hook, which pisses me off on your behalf.

Summer: Why for me?

Chance: It’s cruel to give you false hope like that.

Summer: So, you don’t think it’s true?

Chance: You want to know what I think? I think diane didn’t mean to kill your mom. I think something went sideways. A– a mistake was made and here we are. I also think there’s more to this story than what I know and I think it involves jeremy stark somehow.

Summer: It’s definitely complicated.

Chance: Right. But look, this notion about your mother faking her death and trying to frame diane, I think it’s a stretch. I think it’s a scheme cooked up by michael baldwin and your father-in-law and it’s gonna backfire on him. Also, christine is not having any of this and her instincts are usually right.

Summer: I– I can’t even wrap my head around it and trust me, I’m not immediately accepting it as fact. I mean, we were all here. We saw my mom unconscious on the floor, the ambulance crash, the fire, all of that was very real, but I just can’t help but wonder… if it is true and my mom came back, I mean, what would happen to her going forward?

Age-related

macular degeneration

Audra: I won’t deny, I– I would have liked to see where things might have gone with us, but I’m not gonna try to compete with the pull between you and victoria. That could get messy and it’s okay. You know, you can’t always get what you want in this life. At least not all of it.

Nate: I suppose not.

Audra: My ultimate goal is for you to see me as an ally, not an enemy. I want you to have everything your heart desires and I’ll help however I can.

Nate: And you want something in return? I know you’re not being altruistic here. So, we’re helping each other, right? We have to trust each other to get exactly what we want and I know exactly what you want.

Audra: Oh. Success is about give and take. As you move up the ladder and get closer to victoria, there’s gonna be an empty spot at the top of the organization chart at newman media.

Nate: And you’d like to fill it.

Chance: So you want to know what kind of trouble your mom would be in if she was alive?

Summer: Legally, yeah.

Chance: Well, I mean, anything I say would be speculation. You know, I don’t want to mess with your emotions that way.

Summer: I appreciate that chance, but I can handle it. Really, I can. What kind of charges would she be facing? Is there any way that she could come back and not serve time in prison?

Chance: It depends on what evidence she presents.

Summer: Is there anything that you could do to protect her? I mean, if she is out there agonizing over what to do next. She could be on the run or in hiding. She would be afraid to come back, afraid of what would happen to her. And I just, I hate to think about her like that.

Chance: Summer, I understand your urge to play out every possible outcome, I do, but I wish you wouldn’T. I mean, don’t do that to yourself.

Ashley: I don’t care if jack and kyle and the president of the united states are on your side, a jury’s gonna see right through you.

Diane: No jury, no courtroom, no judge.

Ashley: Oh, there will be a trial.

Diane: Mm, don’t think so.

Ashley: What are you basing this on? Your hallucinations?

Diane: No, I’m basing it on… oh, good morning, tucker.

Tucker: Good morning.

Ashley: Thank god, you’re up. Hey, I got an idea, let’s go somewhere.

Tucker: Yeah, it’s a nice day, you want to take a walk?

Ashley: I’d love to.

Tucker: Would you care to join us, diane? Oh, that’s right, your little ankle accessory there. That’s a shame.

Diane: Ah, ha ha ha ha ha. Hey, are you a stand-up comedian now? I mean, don’t tell me that you sold off your life’s work to victor newman just for that new career.

Tucker: What’s with her?

Ashley: I don’t know. She’s very optimistic about her circumstances. Practically dancing on poor phyllis’s grave.

Diane: Poor phyllis. Oh, you have no idea what…

Tucker: No, please finish your thought. I’m fascinated.

Ashley: Yeah. I’m fascinated too.

Diane: Oh, never mind, I’ll keep it to myself. And in the meantime, I’ll look forward to watching you eat some delicious humble pie. Enjoy your walk.

Daniel: Summer.

Summer: Now, I know why you didn’t return any of my phone calls. You were too busy stabbing mom in the back.

[ Daniel sighing ]

Daniel: I should have known kyle couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

Summer: Thankfully, he has a little bit more respect for me than you do.

Daniel: I respect you too, summer, and I didn’t stab anyone in the back. I took the necessary steps to end this and to protect us all. You’ll notice I found a way to out mom without letting anyone know that you lied. I kept your name out of it, so you’re welcome.

Summer: Daniel, do you have any idea how I’ve had to scramble to make sure that my story matched yours? I told you that we needed to wait until we had a plan that wouldn’t ruin our mom’s life. What did you do? You went straight to jack, the last person that should have known any of this. What the hell were you thinking?

Daniel: That I don’t take orders from you. I get that you’re upset about mom and I know this is making you a wreck because I’m a wreck too, but secrecy isn’t the way to handle this. We need to find her, we need to sort this out and we need to get her legal help or our mother is screwed.

Victoria: Oh, hey.

Nate: Hey, I hope you don’t mind me waiting in here.

Victoria: No, not at all. How are you doing? I know that, um, you’re feeling conflicted about certain things. Is there anything I can do to help?

Nate: You’ve asked me where I’d like things to go between us.

Victoria: Yes, that’s right. Have you had any thoughts about it? (Vo) no matter what type of severe asthma you have…

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Victoria: I really wasn’t expecting that.

Nate: I don’t want to be so forward here in your office, but I felt that was necessary.

Victoria: Necessary, how so?

Nate: Last time we saw each other, I kind of hit the brakes, but I’ve been doing a lot of thinking since then.

Victoria: About?

Nate: You. Us.

Victoria: Any conclusions?

Nate: I broke elena’s heart and I wish I hadn’T. She’s a wonderful woman who didn’t deserve that. But what you and I have, it can’t be denied. It isn’t going anywhere. I’m trying to ignore it. It’s– it’s just impossible.

Victoria: It’s not even remotely possible.

[ Knock on door ]

Nick: Vic, it’s me.

Michael: I understand you want answers, but first, we have to find phyllis and then bring her home. And given what she’s done and what she’d be facing if she turned herself in, I’m guessing she doesn’t want to be found. Easier just to stay dead.

Lauren: But she hasn’T. If daniel has seen her, she has blown her cover.

Michael: And what if there’s never another sighting or any hard evidence that she’s still amongst the living?

Lauren: Well, then daniel looks unstable and becomes the man who sees his dead mother, which my gosh. As if he hasn’t suffered enough.

Michael: No, no, no, it’s also possible that phyllis is laying low, keeping her options open, trying to think her way out of this. That’s what I’d do.

Lauren: You would never be in this mess.

Michael: Oh, there was a time.

Lauren: That was a long time ago. And you, unlike our dear un-departed friend, you’ve learned from your mistakes.

Michael: Still a work in progress, but I appreciate your faith in me.

Lauren: You know, phyllis has really pulled a lot of outrageous stunts in her life, but this? If and when she ever resurfaces, people are gonna want her head on a platter.

Michael: They’ll get past this. And so will you… eventually.

Lauren: Of course, I will. I want her home. I want her safe and I want her sound. Okay, um, what’s your next move?

Michael: I am mulling over a few options.

Lauren: Well, it better be ingenious because it’s gonna be very hard to find someone as cagey as phyllis.

Victoria: Hi.

Nick: Hi. Is this a bad time?

Victoria: No, come in.

Nate: Thanks for those figures. I will touch base later. Nick.

Nick: Nate. I mean, come on. What is it? Is this office like an aphrodisiac?

Victoria: Come on. The last thing that I need is another lecture from you.

Nick: You just can’t see it, can you?

Victoria: See what?

Nick: He’s playing you, vic. He has taken advantage of your interest in him.

Victoria: Oh, please.

Nick: He uses people and then has no scruples. He’s hurt elena and lily, his entire family. I can smell his ambition from a mile away.

Victoria: I happen to like that he’s ambitious.

Nick: I don’T. It concerns me.

Victoria: Yeah, of course, it concerns you. To you, ambition is like a dirty word. However, for me and nate, it’s– it’s– it’s nothing to be embarrassed about. It’s good, we want more. We want to be the best. You know, newman enterprises is lucky to have people who think that way working for us.

Nick: What are you implying? That I don’t pull my weight around here just because I’m not power-hungry.

Summer: You betrayed me, daniel. What’s worse is that you betrayed our mom.

Daniel: I did no such thing.

Summer: You decided that you knew best and you went to jack and it’s exactly what mom predicted. You didn’t handle anything. You just made it infinitely more complicated. Now, chance and christine know, michael, kyle. Even diane knows.

Daniel: Well, that’s great because I asked jack to keep that to himself.

Summer: Oh, and did you really think that he would listen to you? Why would he? And do you think that mom would even consider coming back with the whole town turning their back on her? Not to mention the position that you’ve put me in having to act all stunned about all this.

Daniel: Whoa, whoa, I protected you. I covered up the fact that you had knowledge that could save kyle’s mom and you hid it.

Summer: I really hope that you don’t expect any gratitude from me because what you did was wrong and it was completely unfair.

Kyle: Whoa, whoa guys, calm down. What the hell is going on here? Ultomiris is for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis

Tucker: What was that comment diane made about you eating humble pie?

Ashley: Who knows what goes on in that sick brain of hers? You know, I don’t even care anymore. She thinks she knows something that we don’t and it makes her feel very special and the more I think about it, then I’m just playing into her hand, so let’s not talk about her, please.

Tucker: Deal.

Ashley: Thank you.

Tucker: You want to get a bite after this?

Ashley: Uh, I really kind of have to go to work.

Tucker: No, no, no, no, you really have to do nothing. You have to savor this moment with me because I have an important plan later and we might not get to see each other ’til this evening.

Ashley: Wait, what? You have a plan.

Tucker: Yes, I’m hoping to get permission to watch dom and his music group.

Ashley: That’s your plan?

Tucker: Yes. That’s my one and only calendar item for the day. Got all this free time now, it’s wild.

Ashley: Yeah, sounds pretty wild.

[ Tucker sighing ]

Tucker: I spent so many years working. Working on my company seven days a week.

Ashley: Yeah.

Tucker: Sitting on a mountain top, racing cars. It’s too much work. If I want to know my grandson, it’s got to be now. It’s now or never. Same with devon. Same with you. Proving to you that I’m the man of your dreams, right?

Ashley: Uh-oh, that’s a lot of work.

Tucker: Ah. Yeah. Now, it must be.

Victoria: Your work is fine. I’m not implying anything. You know, it’s not always about you, okay?

Nick: I’m here every damn day working behind the scenes, making sure this company is moving in the right direction. Yeah, it’s not glamorous but I don’t care. I don’t need my name in the press every other day and I’m certainly not the one using the corporate jet to fly out to los angeles for trysts with the employees.

Victoria: That was a legitimate business trip.

Nick: Yeah? Uh, what sort of business was it that elena caught you and nate doing?

Victoria: You know what, are you finished? Because I’m really sick and tired of your self-righteous garbage. Neither one of us is a saint, okay? And this doesn’t involve you, at all.

Nick: I saw elena last night. She’s heartbroken. She’s already packed up and moved out. It’s wrong, vic. What you are doing is wrong on so many levels.

Victoria: Look, I already feel bad enough without you piling on, all right. Yes, I know maybe it wasn’t the smartest idea to pursue someone who wasn’t single, but when I’m around nate, he makes me feel respected and admired. Those things that I no longer felt when I found out that ashland was using me.

Summer: Sorry, I guess finding out about all of this has kind of done a number on me.

Kyle: I hope you’re not blaming daniel for it because if anything was unfair, it was phyllis’s decision not to reach out to both of you.

Daniel: I’m sure she had her reasons.

Kyle: Right. And I’m sure we all know what those reasons were. Your mom didn’t reach out to you because of who you’re married to and who my mother is. So, if you need to blame anyone, blame me, but please do not jump all over daniel because none of this is his fault. What– I… did I miss something? What was that?

Michael: So, my hunch was correct. A little schmoozing goes a long way, nicely done. So after that? Oh, you spoke with the contact I gave you back east. No kidding. Who– which means? No, no, no, you got it. Excellent work, alan. Yeah, I’ll be in touch.

[ Michael humming ]

Lauren: What was that about?

Michael: Uh– uh, my private investigator hit pay dirt. I think this is the big break we’ve been waiting for. Imagine if you could get ahead of your ibs-C…

Ashley: How can you tell which one is dominic? You’re shooting the back of their heads. You’re terrible with the camera.

Tucker: That’s him right there on the bongos.

Asley: Oh, yeah, ooh.

Tucker: Look at that technique.

Ashley: Yeah. Quite the cacophony. So, that’s your big plan, huh?

Tucker: Yeah, for today. And maybe tomorrow.

Ashley: I’m very impressed that you can sit through all that.

Tucker: No, but I’ve studied that video with my professional ear, and if you single out dom’s percussion from the two-year-old hacks, you can tell he’s got something special.

Ashley: Yeah, I’m sure he’s the next ringo starr.

Tucker: No, but I– hey, listen, I’m the expert here. At least on this one esoteric thing.

Ashley: Is that humility I’m sensing coming from you? Seriously? Like you’re only an expert on one thing? You?

Tucker: Could be. Don’t tell anyone.

Ashley: So, anyway, I was thinking that maybe when I go back to work and then maybe if you’re done listening to small children banging on objects, if you go back to the house, maybe you just kind of want to slide your things into my room, maybe. What do you think?

Tucker: Move into your room?

Ashley: Yeah.

Tucker: I don’t know, I kind of like my room.

Ashley: Mm.

Tucker: I’ll think about it.

Ashley: Okay, you do that.

Nick: You were married to a pathological liar. So, I’m sure nate seems like a, uh, a better choice right now, but he is capable of deception, vic, just like billy was and jt and–

Victoria: Just stop.

Nick: There’s a pattern, vic. Look, I’m your brother and I love you. I need you to see what I see.

Victoria: I’m not gonna discuss this with you or mom. It’s simply no one else’s business.

Nick: Fine. But I will never apologize for worrying about you.

Victoria: Look, my eyes are wide open, I promise. And even if nate did have an agenda, it doesn’t matter because I’m never gonna do anything that I don’t want to do. You just need to trust me on that. And if you can’t trust me, then just keep your thoughts to yourself, all right. I am your sister. I love you. I don’t want to constantly be at odds with you.

Summer: I wasn’t attacking daniel. We’re just upset about our mom. There’s a lot of guilt there.

Kyle: You sure that’s all it was?

Summer: Yeah. Um, can we just go to work? I can’t think about this anymore.

Kyle: I’ll walk you out. Later.

Daniel: Bye.

Kyle: Hey, why didn’t you tell me about you meeting with daniel? I assumed you’d want me here when you talk to him.

Summer: Because it’s between me and daniel.

Kyle: Okay. This is what I mean about shutting me out.

Summer: Kyle.

Kyle: You have a husband who will do whatever he can to help you. Why do you do these things like you’re on your own? Like we’re not together?

Summer: You know, I– I– I’ve got to go. I– I have an errand to run before I go to the office. So just go without me and I’ll– I’ll meet you there later.

Michael: Evidently, stark had initiated the process to collect on phyllis’s life insurance, but he never finished the paperwork. So, clearly he died before he could cash out.

Lauren: But what does that have anything to do with locating phyllis?

Michael: There’s more to it. The P.I. Was able to get the contact information that stark had sent to the insurance company. It’s a local post office box.

Lauren: Well, that doesn’t do you any good.

Michael: No, no, no, never underestimate your husband’s brilliance. After we hit that wall, I pulled a few strings with a friend in D.C. He was able to get the registration of the box. Now, I assumed that would be the grand phoenix, stark’s last abode. Au contraire. It turns out it’s a low-rent motel on the outskirts of genoa city.

Lauren: A perfect place for a supposedly dead woman to disappear for a while. You are brilliant.

Michael: I think jack will love to hear where phyllis might be hiding.

Recap written by Michele and Cheryl

Jada pounded on Colin’s door, and Rafe answered it. He let her know that he was there to warn him to stay away from Talia, but he checked out. Rafe found out that he paid in cash. They realized that Colin was a criminal. Rafe spotted a razor and took it out of the garbage to run his prints. Talia warned Colin that they were going to get caught at the new hotel. He ignored Sloan’s call. He told her that his sister already saw him. He told Talia that Sloan threatened to go to the police if he didn’t leave town. He considered leaving, but he couldn’t do it when she was making progress with Chanel. Talia felt they should leave before they get caught. Colin didn’t want to go when she was close to breaking Chanel’s heart. She didn’t want to let him down, but she didn’t want to do it anymore. Nicole was panicking over her baby news. Anna thought she wanted the baby to be Eric’s. Nicole didn’t want to think about her preference. She’s worried that she will lose the baby. Anna assured her that science has changed since the last time she was pregnant. She told her that she should talk to her doctor about prenatal vitamins. She assured Nicole that the guys will be happy with her news. Nicole was grateful to Anna for making her feel better.

Trask went to Abe’s place demanding that he fire Rafe. She needed a police commissioner who could get things done and break rules when necessary. Abe wondered if she had someone in mind for Rafe’s position. She said she wanted Paulina to be the commissioner. Colin was upset with Talia for wanting to end the plan. She felt bad since she got to know Chanel and Paulina. He thought she knew how important it was for him to get revenge on them for his parents deaths. She didn’t want him to be mad at her, but he pulled away from her. He tried to flatter her to get her to stick with the plan. Abe told Trask that he believed in Rafe. Trask warned him that his attitude will cost him the next election. Rafe and Jada went to the station to run Colin’s prints. They turned up empty. Rafe remembered that he wasn’t from America. They checked his prints with Scotland Yard and there was a match. Nicole was at the hospital with a white bag. Nicole bumped into Sloan and a pill bottle fell out of the bag. Sloan picked up the bottle. She read the label on the bottle. She asked her about the prenatal vitamins.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Valentin?

[Soft dramatic music]

“My darling anna, back to work at elq. “But every day I wake up beside you is heaven. Love, valentin.” Mm.

[Knocking on door]

[Chuckles] Sorry about not calling first. I hope I’m not interrupting.

Uh, would it stop you anyway? It hasn’t before. [Chuckles]

No, probably not. Um, I really need your help.

How could i refuse you anything after what you did to bring victor down?

I hope that you mean that because I need a job.

Do you know how much I live for this?

Coffee and croissants?

Quality time with my husband. Mac? Mac, what happened to the romantic man that I married?

I’m sorry. I’ve left about a half a dozen messages for my brother, and robert hasn’t even bothered to text me back.

Well, robert’s had his hands full lately.

With what? Diane, would you mind joining us for a moment?

Of course. What’s it about?

My brother.

I’m expecting something from judge taylor’s office.

Hm.

[Mumbles] No, there’s nothing here marked da scorpio.

Well, then I would expect a degree of initiative at this point, and you can go track it down. It’s important!

Hey, robert. Uh, what’s going on?

I put in for a warrant. It should be here by now.

Oh, well, maybe I can look into that for you. What’s the warrant for?

I’m pursuing a violation of the rico act.

Oh, racketeering, huh?

Well, I prefer to call it enterprise corruption.

Am I familiar with the location of the alleged operation?

You can hardly miss it. Got a big sign above the door which says “the savoy.”

[Cell phone chimes]

Welcome home, stranger. When’s the ticker tape parade in your honor?

The savoy’s closed, and all I want to do this morning is go over last night’s receipts.

So back to normal, is it? I can’t blame you, after what you’ve been through. The invader painted quite the vivid picture. But look at the bright side. You may be rewarded for your heroism, and I don’t mean a key to the city.

Then, what do you mean?

From what I understand, your reward might be a brave and beautiful daughter.

Oh, excuse me? Excuse me. Um, I’ve been wanting to take a dna test for an hour and 15 minutes.

I’m sorry for your wait. It shouldn’t be too much longer.

That’s what you said half an hour ago.

I’m sure that you can find a way to expedite the process. Trina is far too fine a person to mention this, but her mother actually works here at this hospital, dr. Portia robinson.

Look, I’m not looking for any special favors.

But we will take them, if you have them.

Let me see what I can do.

Thank you.

I don’t need you fighting my battles.

I thought that we agreed that we would fight for each other, back on the “haunted star”?

Good morning, portia. I came as soon as I could. You said that you wanted to talk about trina. Is she ok?

Yes. No, no, no, she’s fine.

Oh, good. I was so relieved that she came through that nightmare in greenland without so much as a scratch.

Yes. Yeah, by some miracle. And that’s why I asked you to meet me here today. I plan on keeping my daughter safe and sound.

Well, I’m all for that. How can I help?

That’s exactly what I wanted to hear.

Alexis, please come in. Thank you so much for coming over.

No problem.

I could use all the help I could get right now.

I understand. I brought this for ace.

Aw.

I assume he might be a bit tired after the adventure in greenland?

Oh, no, he’s doing absolutely fine. It’s his mom who’s turning out to be quite a handful.

You don’t say.

[Laughs]

Has her memory come back yet?

Uh, no, no. It’s not about that, not at all.

Mm.

Come on, sit with me. You know, it’s just that… kevin and I have done everything we can to make her feel at home here, you know? And to be honest, I think that spencer has done the same thing. But it’s just– esme?

[Chuckles] Look who stopped by. It’s, uh, ace’s aunt alexis.

Uh, I’m sorry. This is a bad time. Ace and I were just leaving.

Where are you going?

I mean, does it matter? Anywhere but here.

[Dramatic music]

Esme, I -that’s it? -Yeah.


Living in an apartment with four adults and a baby doesn’t afford you much privacy. But you can’t just take off to parts unknown.

Yeah, well, why not? I mean, I have my baby. He’s all that matters to me. Plus the charges that were pending against me have been dropped, so what’s to stop me?

Ok, well to start with, where are you going? And how are you going to get there? Because you don’t have a car. And then, how will you pay for all of it?

I have a trust fund.

Which you don’t have access to. You remember that, right?

Right, because my trustees pulled the plug because of all of the things that people said, that I was a terrible person and so on. But I mean, they can’t keep my money from me forever, can they?

Well, it’s complicated.

But, why? I mean, I’m not the same person who did all of those bad things. So, I mean, they have to give me what’s mine, right?

[Sighs] Yes, esme. But in the meantime, you have to think about your baby, you know? You have to put his needs first. Can you do that?

We were fighting for our lives on the “haunted star.” Now, I’m just trying to take a dna test and make it to my afternoon classes, which I don’t know why it’s taking so long. All I gotta do is swab my cheek, and compare the dna with the dna test results with curtis and my dad. It’s not that big of a deal.

I think if curtis turns out to be your real dad, then yes, it is a big deal.

Correction. If that’s the case, curtis would be my biological father. No matter what that dna test result says, marcus taggert will always be my dad.

Look, I get it. You’re still facing the possibility that you could be curtis ashford’s daughter.

Where did you get the idea that trina and I have–

could be related by blood? It’s not exactly a state secret, especially if one knows people who know people at the gh lab.

Right, your nephew used to work there.

Did he? I have to say, trina robinson is a lovely young woman, also very brave, given everything she’s been through– being arrested, going on trial only to be acquitted. Not to mention the latest adventure you shared on the high seas. To learn that you’re her biological father would be a very happy ending to that story. Or perhaps you don’t want.

Trina thinks of you as such a wonderful mentor.

Well, I’d like to think we’re friends as well.

Mm-hmm. And that’s why I asked you to meet me here this morning. I want to see if maybe you could help me out with trina.

The two of you haven’t patched things up yet, huh?

Well, when she got back from greenland, I got a nice big hug.

[Laughs] And it was wonderful. But, um, after the initial reunion, things are still strained, I would say, between us. So she’s not really likely to listen to me or my input. And I am concerned at some of the choices that trina is making, and I think she’s gonna get into trouble.

Oh, well, I would love to help if I can. What–what choices are you referring to?

The one she made to be with spencer cassadine.

Mac, I’m sorry, but I don’t really keep tabs on robert. Outside of the courtroom, I don’t know what he does.

Well, would you tell me if you spoke with him this morning? I understand you two have been texting a lot with each other lately.

Um–oh! Oh, you mean about, like, a pending case?

Well, yes, of course. What else would I mean?

Why is the da’s office interested in curtis’s nightclub? It’s a legit operation.

I’m not accusing curtis of anything, except maybe a questionable choice of friends, one of them being selina wu.

So selina and curtis are in business together?

Our last venture proved fruitful to us both, did it not?

It certainly did.

Robert. Does the chief know about this?

Where’s my warrant?

I’m sorry, sir. The warrant’s not ready yet.

What kind of job are you looking for then, holly?

I’m thinking of getting back into the spy game. I was hoping you could put in a good word for me with the wsb.

What? That’s what got you involved with victor in the first place. Robert nearly lost his mind with grief, searching for you from here to monte carlo to wherever.

Happily, victor is dead.

Yes, but you and I both know that there are other people out there like him. Why would you want to put yourself through that? Not to mention, robert.

The last thing I want would be to hurt robert.

So stay out, stay safe. Really, I can assure you that the rush of espionage is not worth the downside.

I don’t want the job for the rush.

Well then, what?

I need the money.


Proper tea.

Yes.

Thank you.

You’re welcome.

Yeah, I– I need money to help my son.

Oh, no. What, ethan’s in trouble again already?

Yeah. Yeah, my son has a bit of a robin hood complex.

He steals from the rich to give to the poor, actually.

Minus, as he puts it, a small commission.

Oh, I see. [Laughs]

Trouble is, some of the rich that he’s robbed aren’t very happy. They either want their money back, or they want him killed. So he’s gone back to australia. He knows the players there, the deep pockets. My son is as good with cards as anybody I’ve ever seen. He’s much better than me, and he’s better than his father. But if he makes enough to pay back the people who want to kill him–

he risks creating another loser who would want revenge.

If I don’t settle his debts, my beautiful son is a dead man walking.

Mac, this is really none of our business.

We’re talking about my brother.

Mac, let’s just say that robert has some issues he needs to work out.

What kind of issues?

If you want answers to those questions, you’re gonna have to ask your brother. Excuse me.

Ok, there is more to this story, and I’m gonna get some answers.

No, no, no. Mac, diane is right.

About what?

You need to talk to your brother. Ask robert what is going on.

Ace is my whole world. I mean, there isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for him. But I also need my freedom and my independence. And living in a place where people are constantly looking at me sideways and waiting for me to commit a crime– I mean, it’s suffocating.

All right, I can certainly appreciate that. But your life is going to get better, esme. I promise you that. You just have to be a little patient.

I have been patient. Look, I admit that you and kevin have been very generous to let me and ace live here for free. But that also means that spencer is constantly looking down at me, and making me second guess every decision that I make about my son. And when do I get to live my life on my own terms?

Esme, perhaps there’s a way to make that happen. That is, if you truly mean what you say.

To be perfectly clear, I don’t think that spencer is gonna follow in his great uncle’s footsteps. I don’t think he’s interested in world domination. To me, it seems like he follows in the footsteps of his father. Just like nikolas, spencer is entitled. He’s reckless. And what’s most concerning to me is the content of his– his character. Just like his father. I mean, what kind of man sleeps with his son’s girlfriend? A cassadine–someone who is entitled, spoiled, oblivious to consequences. And that’s why I’m so afraid for trina.

For what it’s worth, if nikolas didn’t come back to town for the birth of his own son, I don’t think he’s coming back at all. And so his influence over spencer is done.

It’s too late. He’s already had, what, 18, 19 years of bad parenting? The mold is set. The damage is done. Spencer is who he is, and he’s a danger to trina. She–

[Sighs] She throws all common sense out the window, which she never used to do. And she jumped on that damn boat and almost died. And I need your help to make trina see reason.

I understand what you’re saying, portia, I really do. And believe me, I have my own regrets about becoming involved with the cassadine family. But I love trina, and so I have to be honest with you. I think you’d be smarter to not move against spencer.

What the hell are you implying?

I’m not trying to suggest you wouldn’t be proud to call trina your daughter. The way I see it, it’s not who she is that is the issue. It is the strings that bind her to her mother that might be problematic, and do you really need that complication in your life right now?

Why don’t you just spit it out, selina? What are you driving at?

As I explained, I have access to the labs at gh. I can make that dna test result go any way you want.


Why would I tamper with dna test results? Because that’s just compounding one lie with another. Trina is a wonderful young woman that I love very much already.

All true. But you used to be a risk taker, a man who lived on the edge and liked it. Perhaps you felt that kind of rush again while playing the hero in greenland.

[Scoffs]

I’m sure the wsb was impressed you could do something that they couldn’T. And maybe you’d like more. And having a daughter might get in the way of that.

[Phone buzzing] That’s true, isn’t it? Then, why let anything or anyone tie you down?

Excuse me, the hostess told me you’re ava jerome. I have a delivery for you.

Oh. Thank you.

Have a nice day.

Thank you. Um, sorry.

I guess I’m just a little surprised. I’m surprised that you don’t want to support keeping trina away from spencer. I–I guess I just figured you of all people would understand what a wrecking ball that family is.

Yeah, well, I agree that the cassadine family can be bad news. And I–I don’t blame you for being concerned about trina’s decision to stick with spencer.

But you won’t help me make trina see the light of day?

[Scoffs] I’ve seen a different side of him. He’s changing and maturing. He took a very principled stand when it came to his baby brother. I understand why trina feels the way she does, and that’s why I can’t help you. If I have any advice at all, it would be for you to leave it alone, and let trina make her own decisions about her life.

I hope that curtis will always be in my life, no matter what the test results show.

Yeah. I wish I could say the same about esme.

I have to say, though, after dr. Gatlin-holt checked out ace and gave him the thumbs up, watching you walk out with laura and esme and ace, you kind of looked like A…

we were a family. Trust me, we’re not. I would give anything for esme to let go, and relinquish the responsibility of raising my brother to me.

I don’t know. Despite everything esme has done to me, I can’t help but feel for her. She doesn’t remember how she used to be or how she acted. And if you think about it, ace is all she’s got.

[Dramatic music]

Trina robinson, you’re a genius.

Thank you. What did I say?

Right now, ace is all esme has. She needs to open her eyes and expand her horizons, broaden her worldview. As long as she is solely focused on ace, she’s never gonna give him up.

Ok. That’s a good idea, but how?

Right, yeah. That’s the hard part, because somehow, we’re going to need to get her to come to that conclusion on her own.

I meant every single word of what I said. I want to stand on my own two feet, and I want to make my own choices. And I want to live where and how I want to live.

All right. What if I can make that happen?

You can help me get my hands on my trust fund?

I don’t think that’s what alexis means.

No, that isn’t what alexis means. I’m not offering you a free ride. I’m offering you a chance to earn that independence you crave.

And how would you do that, exactly?

I have an opening for a receptionist at the invader.

A job answering the phone.

I’m sorry, do you have a college degree or any work experience at all?

No.

[Quietly] Not really.

Then, this seems like a very appropriate job for you to start. Unless, of course, all that talk about you standing on your own is just talk.

Look, this isn’t a fishing expedition. As the da, it’s my job to investigate any hint of criminal conspiracy.

All due respect, I thought we as cops did the investigating, and you guys did the prosecuting.

Let me give you a refresher course in the chain of command. I sit on top of it.

And the judge, who has to sign off on your warrant?

I’ll light a fire under that damn judge right now. I’m sick of waiting.

Come on, felicia, we’ve always been honest with each other. What do you know that I don’t?

[Cell phone ringing] What’s up, dante?

Uh, mac, hey. Calling you about your brother.

What about my brother? Thanks for calling, dante. Bye.

What is it?

That’s what I need to find out.

You’re not the only one who cares about ethan and would want to help him. Robert still regards him as the son he never had. I’m sure he would help in a heartbeat.

Oh, I–I know he would. But if I involved him in ethan’s not quite legal activities– I mean, he’s a respected district attorney. The scandal could bring him down, and I would never do that to him.

Robert still means that much to you, huh?

Yeah. From the moment I first realized that I loved robert, I always have and I always will.

[Chuckles]

So tell him about ethan, and then let him make the decision whether he gets involved or not.

Well, it’s not quite as simple as that. There are things that I don’t want robert to know, for his protection. And if I’m honest, for my own. It’s like what diane miller said.

Oh, wait. Sorry, you spoke to diane about robert?

Yeah. She asked me why I thought that things would work out between robert and me this time, when they never have before.

She has a point. But she also has a horse in the race.

Yeah, I’m keenly aware.

So what, you’re gonna drop out of the race, and let her win?


I barely know diane, but I get the impression that we’re alike in one way. We are both too proud and self-reliant to stoop to pulling out each other’s hair over a man, even if that man is robert scorpio.

No.

[Laughs]

But my point is, is that the last thing that I would want to do is hurt robert by damaging his reputation. And if I end up having to take another path to get the money I need for my son–

is there another path?

Well, there’s always another path. Sometimes, I’ve taken it and lived to regret it.

Yes. I remember.

So will you contact the bureau and help me get my foot in the door before it’s too late?

Well, holly, I have to be straight with you. You know, my influence over there is limited. They’ve replaced frisco because he refused to give the order for the airstrike over the island. And, um, I just got back from a thorough debriefing in london. And the new director is, uh– well, suffice to say he’s not really enamored with me or anyone associated with frisco.

Oh, I–I see.

But I still know some people.

[Chuckles]

I mean, I can make some calls. And I think I would be careful about taking that other path, if I was you.

Can you believe it? The judge won’t sign off on the war– warrant.

[Chuckles] Let me guess. Detective falconeri calls our baby brother, who makes a beeline for the station.

Detective falconeri was doing his job. It’s time to talk.

[Soft dramatic music]

You can forget about the warrant. The savoy is off limits.

Like hell, it is. Look, we both know that wu was a regular customer in there. And I have reason to believe that holly’s now got herself–

so holly’s in trouble again, and you’re her knight in shining armor riding to the rescue.

Mac, you know what she’s like. She’s her own worst enemy. Now, if I can just simply intervene–

intervene, and you’re gonna screw up all the surveillance that I put in place to get the goods on selina wu.

Why wasn’t i informed of this?

I’m telling you now. Stay out of it.

May I?

I–um–

mac is really worried about his brother.

Well, I’m sorry about that, felicia. But I actually have to get through these notes before I head on over to court.

Don’t try so hard, diane. I know you care about robert.

Absolutely, I do. There’s a professional respect, yes.

Robert and i go way back, and holly is a very good friend of mine.

I’m–I’m more than aware you were with holly last night when she arrived at my table to have a frank discussion of present circumstances. And if I didn’t say it then, I want to thank you and alexis for allowing holly and i to have that conversation in private.

I’m not sure you fully understand the present circumstances. It’s time you did.

Trina loves you. She’s gonna come around. But I’ve also seen the way that she looks at spencer. I’ve heard the way she talks about him. She–she was already smitten before everything that happened in greenland. And I’m telling you, painting spencer in a bad light is just gonna make it more difficult for you to heal your relationship with trina.

I’m her mother. If I see her in a situation that’s bad for her, what–

[Sighs]

I’m–I’m really just trying to give you the benefit of my regret. Portia, please don’t push your daughter away. Do better than I did.

Fortunately, my grandmother has a way with esme, so she can encourage her and help her begin to search for things that might fulfill her other than ace, and…

[Sighs] I really am self-absorbed. I’m sitting here going on and on about my problems, when you’re waiting to take a test that could literally change your whole life.

Look, firstly, I was happy for the distraction. And secondly, if you have problems, I wanna hear about them.

Well, I want to hear about your problems.

[Chuckles]

So I guess we’re stuck together?

Looks like.

Well, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Neither would I.

[Soft music]

Selina, if you’re offering to fix the dna test results, there must be something in it for you.

When did you become so cynical?

Why don’t you just admit it? You don’t give a damn if I’m trina’s father or if I’m not. You just like having something over me.

What else do I need? I already have our little game in the back room, payback for putting your father’s arrest record into your hands. Whether you like it or not, the two of us are joined at the hip.

For now. But hear me clearly. Do not do me any favors by doctoring those results. Oh. This is your tab from last night.

[Ominous music]

Did you put alexis up to this? Is this your way to keep me in town, by chaining me to a desk so I can never leave?

[Scoffs] You know, esme, some people might see it as an opportunity. I know I did when I was asked to answer phones for elq when I was your age.

[Baby crying over monitor]

Um, I should go check on ace. Just..

[Crying continues]

[Sighs] You know, it’s–it’s a great opportunity for her. She can put down roots. She can create a home for herself and for her son, with her son’s family’s assistance, of course.

So why do you look so worried?

I am worried, but not about esme. I’m actually worried about you.


Esme may not currently be able to remember all the terrible things that she’s done, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that she won’t revert to her old behavior.

I’m very well aware of that, which is why I was worried about her living here with you.

But what choice did I have, you know? She holds the fate of my grandchild in her hands.

I know that. I know that, which is why I think this was–

uh, alexis. Um, I thought about your offer.

There’s no rush. You could take your time.

Yeah, you don’t have to decide now.

Except I have decided. I’ll take it.

Excuse me, I’m having some tests done today. And my question is, how is the lab security system? I mean, how absolutely certain are you that no one can tamper with the dna test results? And what safeguards do you have in place?

Why all the questions?

Curtis, is something wrong?

Well, you know. You know I ask a lot of questions. I just want to make sure the results are gonna be accurate.

Thanks for your concern, but I haven’t even been tested yet.

It won’t be long now. And it will be accurate.

Sorry, I stuck my nose in.

It’s ok. You have a nice nose.

I wonder if it runs in the family.

I hope you don’t think I’m telling you how to parent because I’m not. I’m just–I’m hoping that you can learn from my mistakes.

I appreciate hearing your perspective. But I can’t stand by. I can’t lose trina.

So what are you doing to do?

I don’t know.

Robert and holly have 30 plus years of history, but that doesn’t mean that he’s ready to upend his life for her now. Whatever’s going on with you and robert, I know it–

there is nothing going on with me and robert, except a court date, which I have to keep.

You are the ultimate professional, diane. But I know the signs. You care about robert.

And holly sutton is the love of his life. End of story.

I have no interest in compromising the pcpd’s surveillance of wu.

Then, stay the hell out of it.

I can’t do that. Hey, where’s my warrant?

Tell the da he can wait till hell freezes over.

Ok, why don’t we just sit down and discuss this?

Screw the warrant.

[Dramatic music]

[Knocking on door]

Anna devane?

Uh, yes?

Just need a signature.

Oh, sure. Thank you. Mm-hmm, thank you.


Good, then I’ll tell her to expect you.

[Knocking on door] The starting salary is what it is, but you do get health care benefits and day care.

Wait, does that mean that ace can come to work with me? I won’t have to leave him with spencer and laura? Oh, my god, thank you. Thank you so much.

[Tender music]

Hi.

Mom, um, we’re just waiting to get our dna tests.

Trina, just remember whatever happens, you’re not alone.

I’ll make sure of that.

Then, we’re all in agreement. Trina comes first. Always.

[Dramatic music]

Oh, right.

[Sighs]

[Sighs]

I can’t wait to tell ace mommy’s got her first job. This is our first step on our path to independence. Thank you.

Looks like I got myself a receptionist.

Yeah.

What’s that?

Uh, I don’t know. It was just delivered by messenger.

A messenger? That’s old school.

[Phone ringing]

It is, isn’t it? Oh, excuse me. Hi, anna.

Hey, laura. Did you by any chance just get an envelope delivered to you by messenger?

Yes, just this very moment. How’d you know?

Because I got one, too. It’s an invitation to the reading of victor’s will.

Robert and holly are my friends. I just want them to be happy.

Well then, felicia, there’s nothing left to say, is there?

Just this. Seeing robert with you and knowing his very complicated history with holly, I’m not so sure where their happiness lies.

Da scorpio. If you’re looking for curtis, he just left.

Actually, I’m looking for you.

Oh, really? What can I do for you?

What is the hold that you have over holly sutton?

I suggest you ask the lady herself.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning taste testers. I hope you’re hungry. B cups, we have pine, coconut and vanilla bean honey this morning. They all look delicious. Wow. But uh, honey, we still have the pastry you made yesterday. Yeah, the day before. I know I need to find a hobby right now that I’m unemployed. It’s kind of crazy making all this stuff for just the three of us.

Oh, faith is. Oh, Chanel honey, this situation isn’t going to go on forever. I know police department is, and they might be taking their sweet time, getting enough evidence to arrest that witch Sloan Peterson, but Abraham’s pulling every string that he can to get the Health Department off your back so you can open sweet bits back up as soon as possible.

You know, I know this processes isn’t going quite as fast as we would like, but we have to go through the proper channels. Mm-hmm. I’d like to channel those police and they’re doing their job. Oh, this, it’s, it’s unfair of them to deprive you of your livelihood when you are a victim too. After all, it’s not as though anyone at Sweet Pits tampered with those biscuits.

Of course not. Speaking of which, I can’t believe Jada suspected her own sister of being involved. Open up. It’s Detective Jada Hunter. Again, I need to talk to you. Rafe. What are you doing here? Same thing you are.

I could stay here all day. Company is exquisite. In this bed smiles better than the one over at that God awful motel. Yeah, I guess what’s a man now you’re not missing castle cockroach. What? No, it’s just, I know. No one slash I can’t Late last night. Since it was after midnight. Right, exactly. So what are you worried about now, Helen?

It’s just you’re staying in the middle of town. If my sister found you at that motel, I mean,

so I told you this was the only option, Talia. I thought I made that clear to you. Not just because your sister came asking questions, but because mine did too.

Colin, it’s me. I need to make sure you’ve left town. I know you had other plans, but this is for the best. Trust me. Call me when you get this. I love you.

Hey, that was a quick shower. Yeah. I’m sorry, but I couldn’t help it Overhear your conversation. What was all that about? I mean, who were you talking to?

Good morning, Anna. Hi. Hi. Oh, well, how are you feeling today? Any morning sickness yet? Sorry. It’s okay. No, uh, no. No nausea. Just, uh, a little panic stricken. Oh, it’s understandable. Um, Look, Nicole, I, I know that, um, you have entrusted your secret with me, and I’m very honored that, um, I’ve earned your confidence.

But, but, oh, I have a confession to make. I was an accident. I didn’t mean to do it. So please don’t be upset with me. Oh my God, Anna. You told EJ was pregnant,

like Sands through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

No, I didn’t tell EJ or anybody else that you are pregnant. Of course not. Thank God. Well then what? Oh, well you remember that adorable little necklace that you lent me because it went so well with my Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress. Oh, well the chain broke and I’m sorry I, but I will have it fixed as soon as possible.

Annana. I. I, I don’t care about the necklace. Don’t, don’t worry about it. Okay. Okay. Well, thank you. I, I’ll give it back to you as soon as I get it fixed. And I’m, you know, I’m, thank you for being understanding cuz I remember how upset I was when Susan broke my crystal heart. God rest her soul. Honey, are you planning on keeping this secret forever?

I mean, not forever because you can’t, you’re gonna be showing Sue.

I don’t know. I mean, if I, if I can’t carry the baby determined, then does it matter if I tell anyone? Probably not. But if I can hang on to this baby, then that’s different. But that’s why I’m panicking. And I, I made an appointment with Kayla, you know, for the paternity test, but I know that’s not gonna happen for a couple of weeks.

Okay. I know that I asked you. Who you hoped the father is, Eric or ej. And you said you didn’t care as long as the baby was healthy, but I’m just guessing

what that you hope it’s Eric’s

look, I, I can explain it. Listen, I don’t mean to. Pry. It’s just I heard you say I love you. Yeah. I was leaving a message for my brother. Your your brother. You haven’t mentioned him in a long time. Is everything okay?

Wait, your sister knows you’re in town. Yeah. She ever heard your sister talking to her boss about some British guy who was staying in the white dove? She figured it was me. How she figured everything out. What do you mean by everything? Surely you can figure it out. And she was pretty upset, understandably, about the prime suspect in all of the crimes committed against Chanel and her mother, not to mention her boyfriend.

Took one of the biscuits and he slept with another woman whilst he was under the influence. Wow. So that’s why she’s upset. Yeah. And she was so upset that she told me if I didn’t get out of town and call the whole thing off, she was gonna go to the police and tell ’em about my involvement, babe. So that’s why you had the suitcase out when I came back last night.

Right. I was going to cut my losses and do what she asked. Then you came back and you told me how hard Chanel had fallen for you, and I realized. I can’t leave now. Wait. Come. Why not? I mean, Chanel’s Bakery is shut down. You scared the hell out of Paulina with those threats. Hey, this is the perfect time to get out.

Before we get caught,

I am so relieved that Talia’s been cleared, even though it never made much sense for the police to suspect her in the first place. They, they don’t anymore. Right? Well, Talia gave reasonable explanations to all the questions that Jada asked her. Mm-hmm. That child was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Now she’ll be fine. You don’t need to worry about her. Good, because I got plenty of other things to worry about.

Wonder who that could be. Oh, um, who’s there? It’s Melinda Trask. Yes. I better let her in, huh? Unfortunately. Oh. I’m here to see the mayor since when does the DA make house calls? I have some rather delicate matters I wanna discuss with you outside of City Hall. Oh, well, you know, if you expect me to just leave my home because you wanna have a little private chat with my husband, I don’t I, you see this actually concerns you and your daughter as well.

Oh. How so? Yeah, what’s going on? No need to worry, missed price. Um, you see, I think we’re gonna be on the same page for once. I need you to fire Ray Hernandez.

So you came to Warren calling off my sister. Yeah. Naone to get the hell outta Salem. Oh, I figured A stern talking to from the commissioner or police might encourage the son of a bitch to do the right thing, but he was gone when I got here. Checked out late last night, right after I started asking questions.

Yep. Oh, another thing he checked in using the same alias that he used with you. Call him Firth. Oh, plus he paid all cash. This guy is scum for the way he treated my sister. But this, this sounds like there has to be something more to this. Yeah. Like maybe something criminal.

Why the hell would I fire Ray Hernandez other than flaming incompetence? This sweet bit debacle is far from his first abject failure as a poisoning victim. I believe I speak for the people of Salem when I say, enough is enough, Mr. Ask, have you forgotten that Rafe was also a poisoning victim, that he has every incentive to solve this case, and he’s worked very, very hard to do so.

And so Peterson, she, she may be our lead suspect, but there is not a shred of evidence. You’ll, you’ll never be able to prosecute this case. Now, with the appropriate support from the Salem pd, specifically the commissioner, Of course I could. I need someone in this job who can get things done. Who’s not afraid to judiciously bend a few rules.

You mean break them what it’s called for. So I suppose you have someone in mind for this. I do. Your wife

Colin. We can go back to New York. I can start working as a doctor again. We can get our lives back spec. Once this is all over, we will do that. But baby, we can’t pull the plug now. Sloane doesn’t know anything about what you’re up to with Chanel, so we don’t have to abandon that part of the plan, especially when you are so close to breaking the girl’s heart.

What.

Look, I really hate to disappoint you. I, and I mean, the last thing I wanna do is to let you down and everything. But for what? Just spit it out. Would you come? I can’t take this anymore. Okay. I don’t wanna do this.

Yeah, no, everything’s. It’s fine with my little brother. I just, I like to check in on him every so often, you know? He’s had it kind of rough. Yeah. You mentioned something about that before, but you didn’t go into details. Well, I really don’t know that much about his childhood actually, because of the age difference, you know?

I mean, he was just a taller when I was starting high school. Then a few years later, he moved away to London with my parents when my dad became a professor over there. So he grew up across the pond. Right.

And after both our parents died, Not that it wasn’t traumatic for me was obviously, but I think it was even worse for him. In what way?

Well,

it’s. It really changed him, you know,

not that I wasn’t totally derailed by it. I was, but I don’t know. It’s just his grief. It’s just anger. I mean, it completely took him over so much to the extent that, um, I mean, he could barely even function.

What are you thinking?

What? Nevermind. I hate even say it. No. Say what? Mommy, is it possible to your brother could be the one who’s been going after Pauline and Chanel?

Anna, how could you say that? Don’t you get it? I am trying not to go there. Not to go where? To, to fixate on whose baby I’m carrying or whose baby I prefer to be or not to be. That’s why I’m panicking because I don’t know what the hell to do. I, I don’t know what to think. Was he even to expect, I. And this stupid drugged one night stand with Eric.

This just really mess up my life. Don’t you see that? Oh, I do. Of course I do. And what’s really making me panic more is that I’m, I’m likely to miscarry now, why would you say that? Because the odds of me carrying a baby to term is practically zero. You have Holly.

Holly was conceived through I V F. Chloe Lane was my surrogate. Oh, I’m sorry. I have no idea really, because I thought everyone in Salem knew. Look, Daniel and I, we, we froze my embryos. Because I had already had two miscarriages and the first baby I, I wanted so desperately. Oh, I do remember that. I don’t know if you remember this or, or you even heard, but the second one, I, anyone have anything to do with ej?

I didn’t want him to know that the baby was his, and both times he was livid with me. Oh God,

I thought I had put all this pain behind me, but now that I’m pregnant, it’s just all the fears and the, the possibility of feeling that loss over again is just, oh, honey, maybe you don’t have to, I mean, Yeah, medicine has come a long way in the last few years and you know, robots performing surgeries and pig hearts being transplanted into people.

I mean, speaking of hearts, look at what Rolf just did. Oh God. Please do not bring that man into this conversation. Okay, fine, fine. My point is, honey, What was impossible back then might not be impossible now, and maybe you can have a successful, healthy pregnancy after all.

Oh, Anna, I know, well, I’ve read, I’ve read articles about advanced medicine and I do know that even with high risk pregnancy, that there is a likelihood that there would be a positive outcome, you know, more than, than a few years ago. But I don’t wanna get my hopes up. Not to mention Eric’s, because if he is the father, then well, why would you be worried about getting his hopes up?

Because

he’s always wanted to be a dad. At first he lost Mackenzie, and then Jada was pregnant and he was over the moon. And then he found out that she got an abortion. And the only reason that we’re not together is because he blames me for, oh honey, that’s so unfair. That was her choice. I know, I know.

But if he is the father and I do miss Carrie, I will feel like I am taking yet another child away from him.

Why would you even ask me that, Eric? You know nothing about my brother. You just told me that he was more traumatized than you were by what happened. His anger took over him completely on the aftermath of their deaths. Okay, fine. Maybe he has motive. But my brother has nothing to do with those crimes. I mean, think about it.

How could he? Hmm. He’s nowhere near Salem. So we’re back to this. Here are we, and I wanna do this Carlie, and I can’t take this anymore. Can you stop making fun of me please? Could you blame me? It is getting tiring. Talia, you are constantly threatening to jettison our plans, which by the way, you were on board with when we came to Salem.

Yeah. Well, it’s different now. Okay. It, it’s a thing when Chanel Paulina, where these nameless, faceless people, you’re gonna say one more time how they’re nice to you because they are and they have been. Okay. You’re not the one who has to look in Chanel’s eyes and kiss her and shower her with compliments.

It’s me. Okay. And it feels, it just feels wrong. It feels wrong. Yes. Really. How do you think I felt when I found out that my mother jumped to her death from a roof. How do you think I felt when I found out that she didn’t jump, that she was pushed by the same person who seduced my dad. How do you think I felt when I found out that the murderer’s mother.

Flew to London and paid to have everything covered up. Just so that her homicide with daughter wouldn’t have to face the consequences. Now, now the mayor, the mayor’s on her side trying to open up the bakery again, which means that she is gonna get away with it all over again. If you don’t help me. I thought young understood how important this was to me.

Why I have to do this to honor my parents’ memory and get justice for them, and if I don’t, I won’t be able to live in myself. No, I thought you were on my side. Talia, obviously I was wrong.

Excuse me. You want me to be the police commissioner? Well, given what Sloan Peterson has put you through, I assume that you’re willing to do whatever it takes to put her behind bars. Ms. STRask, Paul cannot. And will not go after that position. Besides the blatant nepotism, I believe in my wife’s capabilities, but I appointed rave police commissioner because I believe in him.

And that hasn’t changed. Well, that’s a shame mayor, but I predict that your soft on crime reputation is gonna get you creamed in the next election. I’ll show myself out

so much for my shiny new badge.

Maybe Colin’s gone for good, maybe he’s not, but I don’t wanna take any chances that he’ll find his way back into Talia’s life. You know? Especially since, since the whole thing with the drugged up biscuits. I know Talia gave all the right answers. When we questioned her, even though there were some red flags in her story, what I and, you know, unite, we kept questioning, you know, what her motive would be to sabotage Chanel’s Bakery.

I. Right. Yeah. So you think that maybe he’s involved in this? I dunno. As sure as hell. Hope not. Huh? You know what? The guy might have a record, so how about we try and lift some prints? I’ve got my kit in my car. Yeah, it looks like the room’s been cleaned. Cleaned, huh? Yeah. Clean being a relative turine, like they haven’t even emptied the trash.

Uh, well in that case, we’ll not only pick up Collins’s prints, but we’ll pick up Talia’s as well and any other transient that’s been in and out of this place. Mm, better man. Look at this. Oh, yeah.

But we’ll get his prints off of that.

Colin, I am on your side. You know this and I hate, look at me, and I hate. How you had to suffer your mother’s murder in the awful way of your dad dying. Okay? And I understand why you wanna get justice for them. I do. I really do. But whatever you do, just please, please don’t be mad at me. Okay.

And how difficult this has been for you. Having to seduce someone that you despise. So I’m not even attracted to women, and not to mention you only have eyes for me. That is true. And it’s true for me too, babe. You are the best thing in my life. You’re the only thing that makes me feel whole.

You understand how much I need you, right? How much I need you to do this for me. Yeah, I do. I told you that. I know how much I’ve asked from you. You’ve just been so supportive and understanding

almost at the finish line. All right,

we’re almost at the end.

Well, you know, if it’s any consolation. Your current job pays a hell of a lot more than police commissioner Point taken and ape. I do admire your loyalty to Ray. Well, I’m loyal to Ray because he’s damn good at what he does. I mean out, dare that woman come in here and ah, I tell you. Okay. Okay. We’re not gonna talk anymore about.

Melinda and her shenanigans. I am going to put her out of my mind and go to the office. Oh, and I should do the same. I wish I could do the same. Oh, baby. Oh, I know how hard it is. And let you, how much you wish that you could just get ready, head off to the bakery and wick a tail off. Yeah. Instead of hanging around in this apartment making bear calls that everyone’s sick of.

Oh, sweetheart. Chanel. No one is sick of anything that you make. Your mom and I well, we just want you to get back to running your wonderful business and you will soon my precious girl. Ah, but for now, why don’t you, uh, you know, go take a shower, get dressed, and uh, you know, get ready to, to beat your dad.

Why? Well, because we always feel better when we are dressed for success, you know? Oh, so go ahead, go on, get out of those PJs and go on there and put on something pretty. And I promise you, the world will seem a lot brighter.

I am. I’ll go get ready to greet the day as you say. Oh, baby, I know. I know how leak it seems, but. You never know what the day might bring. Hey,

I’m sorry if I upset you. I mean suggesting that your brother could have something to do with the crimes against Pauline and Chanel. No, it’s just, like I said, it doesn’t make sense. Right. Since, um, he’s not in Salem and we’re close. Right, so you’re gonna get dressed today or what? Oh yeah. I guess that would be a good idea.

Oh, not the answer I was looking for. No. Mm-hmm. Before when you heard me say, I love you, I need to know who I was talking to. Were you by any chance a little jealous? Jealous me. I don’t get jealous. Oh, really? Not even just a little bit. Okay. Maybe I was, um, a bit jealous.

Anna, I just feel so alone, which is ironic, isn’t it? Given that I am with child, as they say, which makes me not alone really at all. No. No, you’re not. And you have me, you know? Yes. And I’m very thankful.

But what’s supposed to make me happy, what is supposed to be a blessing and a and a miracle, is just making me sad and confused

and really sleepy. Well, of course you are. You know, that’s very normal in the first trimester. I know that. Oh God, there’s my coffee. Coffee. No, no, no, no, no. What Nicole, you have to start taking care of yourself and the baby. That means no caffeine, no, no alcohol. And you have to start taking some prenatal vitamins as soon as possible.

I mean, so many crucial organ systems are forming in these first few weeks, right? I, I know that. So you’re gonna call Kayla and you’ll get a prescription for those vitamins. Will you do that today, please? I will. Yes, I definitely will. And Nicole, I know this is so difficult for you, but try looking on the bright side.

EJ is crazy about you and. If this baby is his, he will take care of you and this baby. 100%. And Eric, well you just told me that he’s always wanted to be a dad, so no matter what the complications are, are he’s sure to be thrilled. He’ll be thrilled, and he will also be there for you and the baby every step of the way.

So really, no matter what, this baby is going to bring a whole lot of joy to whomever. Wow, you were sugarcoating the hell out of that, but I, I am, I’m very grateful. You definitely lifted my spirits as only you can. Well, things are gonna look up, honey. Yeah, I promise.

How long is it gonna take? Maybe the prints on the razor weren’t good enough. No, it would appear as though they are. See what we got.

Nothing. Damn. As I can tell you, X doesn’t have a record after all.

Hey look gorgeous babe, as always. Why? Thank you, baby. So what are you gonna be doing while I’m with you? Now? I am gonna stay right here. Keep the bed warm. Ready to celebrate to your success. That’s it. What do you mean? That’s it? I mean, you’re the one who said Breaking Chanel’s heart wasn’t gonna be enough.

That that would just be the beginning of you getting justice for your mother’s death. Right. But our respective sisters kind of blew that plans a hell, didn’t they? Besides, I said to my sister that I was gonna drop it. I was done. And since I am a man of my word,

Yeah. I love you. I love you too.

My poor baby. I don’t know how much more that she can take. Mm. Excuse me,

mayor Carver. Oh, oh, great. Uhhuh Uhhuh. Well, uh, yes, of course. I’ll, I’ll, I’ll be right there. Thanks. Thanks. Well, it looks like pressure from the mayor’s office has finally paid results. The health inspector. He has agreed to meet me at the bakery right now for a new inspection, and if everything goes as expected, he will consider.

Reopening on a conditional basis. Oh, and that’s wonderful. You’re wonderful. Oh, Chanel will be thrilled. Oh, well, he wants you to come down as the owner of the building. Oh, well, yeah. Well, Chanel should be there too, as the owner of the bakery. Oh, wait a minute on second. I don’t wanna get our hopes up. You know what, let’s wait.

Tell her until we’re short. That is good news. Yeah. Yeah. That makes sense. Ugh. Okay. You ready to go there? Yes. Yes, sir. Oh, yes.

You have an appointment? No, it’s just my alarm to take my control pill.

Oh, I gotta get these refilled.

I don’t suppose you, nevermind. Nevermind. You just say it.

I can’t help but wonder if you and Nicole use protection. The night you guys were together, you don’t have to worry. There’s no way that Nicole is pregnant.

Look, I’m only gonna tell you this for your peace of mind and it stays between us. Of course.

I just found out she’s going through early menopause.

Menopause,

that poor thing.

Okay, I’m off to Mak. Uh, Unless maybe I should stay with you. Oh, no, Anna, I’m, I’m fine. You’ve cheered me up, like I said. Oh, good. I hope so, because I have a, a real knack for putting my foot in it sometimes, which I did quite a few times here. Pressuring you to try to tell me who you hope the father of the baby is, and that is nothing you need to be worried about right now.

I know you were just trying to help, you know, to get me to figure things out. Yeah, more like I was nosy, which isn’t a great attribute. Gets me in a whole lot of trouble. Oh you. You weren’t being nosy. You’re just interested in people and do it in the most kindhearted way. Well, thank you for being understanding and you are kindhearted too.

Are you sure it’s okay for me to leave you now? Go play. Will do one more thing. Okay. Nicole, I am praying for you and this baby, and because I’ve, I’ve seen what a wonderful mother you are at Holly. I know in my heart. That this baby, this child is going to be very lucky no matter what.

Thank you.

Hi. Sorry. Is this a bad time? I probably should have called first. Oh, not at all. I got nothing but time and my mom and Abe just left for the office, so I am all by my lonesome. Not anymore. All. Not anymore. Come in,

you know, my mama told me that I should. Wear something pretty because you never know what the day might bring. And I’m so glad I listened to her because it brought you,

I don’t know whether to be relieved that the guy is clean. We’re disappointed that we’ve hit a dead end. I was so sure this guy was gonna have a list of priors. So was I. Iran, his print to the New York and Salem databases. Those were his last known residences. I mean, he could have been arrested somewhere else in another jurisdiction, but he’d be here all year running them through every system and we don’t even know if there’s even been a crime here.

Wait a minute, the guy’s a Brit, right? Scotland Yard

Looks like we got a match.

This place was always so cheerful, so sad to see it. Something was empty. Well, let’s hope it won’t be that way anymore. Mm. Mayor Carver

and you must be polling a price. None other nice to meet you both. I’m from the health department.

Eric, hi. Oh, it’s so nice to see you again. Um, I was just at the liquor store buying some Majong from my chardonnay. I, I mean, some chardonnay from my Majong, right? Yeah. Well, actually I had to sample the chardonnay, several different Chardonnays now that I think about it. And I suppose it’s a little early in the day to be imbibing, but.

You can’t really buy wine unless you sample it. Can you, you agree with me, don’t you? You seem a bit nervous. Santa nervous. No, actually I feel very calm. It’s um, probably the chardonnay Oh, the, that Chardonnay And now I’m off to you meet my delightful Majong friends and I’m hoping to win every game. So, uh, You have a wonderful day, Eric.

Yeah, and take care. It’s good to see you too.

Here’s your prenatal vitamins.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Relaxing music ]

Finn: Hey, how was drop off?

Steffy: I got kelly to school on time. Actually, two minutes early, so yay for me.

Finn: Nice. Um, amelia just left with hayes.

Steffy: Oh, a nice day at the, uh, aquarium. Big day for our little guy.

Finn: Yeah. It would’ve been fun to take him myself, but it’s looking like I’m having an extra jam-packed day.

Steffy: Why? What’s happening?

Finn: I’m going to prison.

Mike: So, where’s that beautiful smile? Not happy to see your old flame, mike?

Sheila: No offense, but when they told me I had a visitor, I– I just didn’t expect to see you again.

Mike: Surprise. I still got a few connections in here.

Sheila: Yeah. Well, I wish it had been my son or his father.

Mike: Finn, or the guy who knocked you up.

Sheila: His name is jack.

Mike: Hm. So he was the mysterious visitor you had a while back. So, what are you up to with jack?

Sheila: Nothing.

Eric: No, no, no, no, no, no. Give me that.

Rj: What?

Eric: You really are like your father in so many ways, you know?

Rj: Well, they don’t call me ridge jr. For nothing.

Eric: You really are a chip off the old block, aren’t you?

Rj: Thank you, granddad.

Eric: So what is it? What did you wanna see me about?

Rj: I wanna talk to you about my mom. I just wanna make sure that she’s really doing okay.

Taylor: Don’t worry. Hollis isn’t working today.

Brooke: Oh, I– no, I’m not worried.

Taylor: No?

Brooke: No.

Taylor: I didn’t want you to think that I was gonna, you know, try to set you guys up again.

Brooke: No, I didn’t– I didn’t think that. Look, hollis is a great guy. He’s sweet and he’s handsome and he’s very young, so I didn’t think it was gonna work out.

Taylor: I wasn’t expecting you guys to get married. I just wanted you to have some fun, you know.

Brooke: Okay.

Taylor: At least you, you know, you shared a nice kiss.

Brooke: Mm. Well, it’s a good kiss.

Taylor: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: I just think if I’m gonna be with somebody, it needs to be somebody that I know, somebody that I trust and somebody that I’ve had a history with.

Deacon: Okay. When I heard the bus boys talking about the two beautiful women at table five, of course, I had to come see it for myself, right? But i was not prepared for the absolute bellezza that’s before me.

[ Laughter ]

Brooke: Bellezza?

Taylor: Bellezza.

Deacon: You like that? Yeah. It’s italian.

Rj: I mean, you and mom have always been close. You’re one of her biggest supporters, right?

Eric: I adore your mother. I’m always, uh, I always have been one of her biggest fans.

Rj: Granddad, tell me this, you know, my parents have been broken up for a few months now and I know, you know, my mom’s out there trying to embrace the single life, but do you think that she’s really happy with that?

Deacon: You know, you two are become regulars. I like it.

Taylor: Well, the food is a ten outta ten. You’re killing it.

Deacon: Aw, thank you. And listen, all kidding aside, it really is wonderful having two beautiful, accomplished women like you in my humble establishment. And I still gotta tell you, it is kinda weird seeing the two of you getting along.

Brooke: Well, it was, uh, it was a surprise. Becoming friends with taylor, a wonderful surprise. You know, I can’t ever imagine us being rivals again.

Steffy: Don’t tell me.

Finn: Sheila’s been reaching out to me. She’s been sending me letters and emails from prison.

Steffy: She wants to see you?

Finn: Not just because I’m her son, because I’m her doctor.

Steffy: Oh my–

Mike: So what, sheila? You– you’re hoping finn’s daddy was gonna help spring you from the slammer?

Sheila: He’s an attorney, mike. A very influential criminal defense lawyer.

Mike: He must have some dough.

Sheila: Better. He’s got clout. Power.

Mike: Oh. So that’s why you’re putting on the lipstick, the perfume. You’re hoping to work your magic on the poor sap. Did it work?

Sheila: No.

Mike: Well, I guess you’re stuck in here with me, angel

Sheila: Not for long. Hmmm! Twix with cookie and cookie dough?

Rj: I can’t tell if my mom is living a life of her own choosing or not.

Eric: What do you mean?

Rj: Like, her and dad were going pretty steady until a lie tore them apart. And it was a lie that my mom had nothing to do with. And I know that that’s all been cleared up now, but they’re still apart.

Eric: Well, your mom took a very strong stand with ridge.

Rj: It’s– it’s nice that she and taylor are friends now and I’ve heard all about the pact that they’ve made and that’s great, but I’m left to wonder if my mom will ever truly be at peace with her life until she’s reunited with my dad.

Taylor: You think it’s strange seeing brooke and me as friends? What about you two? I’ve never known you two to get along so well.

Deacon: Brooke’s my queen. And she always will be.

Brooke: You could have any woman in here.

Deacon: They just want me for my pasta sauce and you know it. Besides, you and I, we have a very special connection. The– the best kind of bond any two people could share.

Brooke: Our sweet hope.

Deacon: She is pretty terrific.

Taylor: Yeah. You know, she is the best of both of you. You have a lot to be proud of.

Brooke: Yes, we do.

Deacon: We did one pretty incredible thing, didn’t we? We made an awesome human being.

Brooke: We certainly did.

Mike: Cheer up. Life can be worse. At least you still got me.

Sheila: I’m sorry. That’s really no consolation for being chained up like an animal.

Mike: Do the crime, you do the time. Think any of us convicts wanna be in here?

Sheila: Yeah. But I don’t deserve to be in prison, mike.

Mike: That’s what we all tell ourselves. Sheila, you gotta accept your fate. Sooner you do, the easier life will be, you know?

Sheila: No. You know, no. I don’T. And I won’t accept that this is my future. I never will. Now I– I need to be free. I need to connect with my son and my grandson again.

Steffy: So sheila wants you to visit her because you were her attending doctor for one night.

Finn: When she went into cardiac arrest.

Steffy: So then why doesn’t she want the entire hospital team or the prison doctor?

Finn: Oh, she’s requesting me personally.

Steffy: So it’s a blatant manipulation.

Finn: Without a doubt. Listen, sheila is nothing if not transparent.

Steffy: And you’re gonna go?

Finn: Well, I didn’t want to. I thought I was done with her. We’re never gonna have to see her again. But obviously, she’s under the illusion that it’s okay to contact me, have some type of relationship.

Eric: Never too busy for my grandson. And as far as you asking about brooke, I’m not sure I’m the person to ask about that. As she seems to be happy. Uh, but, uh, I think if you wanna talk to anybody about brooke, I think brooke is the person to ask.

Rj: You’re right. I just– I thought it couldn’t hurt to talk to you first.

Eric: I’m glad you did. Very impressed with how, uh, sensitive you are to your mother’s feelings. You’re a good soul, my boy. You always have been. Oh, look at this. My two favorite grandkids in the room at the same time.

Steffy: I saw it on your stories. Looked like fun.

Rj: It was.

Steffy: So, uh, how was your meeting with granddad? Seemed like I just walked in on something.

Rj: I don’t know. I was just actually talking to him about my mom. I’m– I’m a little worried about her.

Brooke: Oh, wait. Did hope tell you about her trip to san francisco?

Deacon: Yes. It sounds like they killed it, right?

Brooke: They scored a number of pre-orders.

Deacon: I mean, way to turn it around at the end, right? And– and– look, I know I’m very protective of hope, but props to your son too.

Taylor: Thank you. Yes. He’s just– he is so happy to be back designing with the team.

Brooke: I give them both a lot of credit. They worked really hard to overcome their past. And now, they have this really healthy working partnership.

Deacon: Well, you know, when– when hope puts her mind to something, there’s really nothing she can’t do.

Brooke: That’s true. She’s very determined. She’s been like that ever since she was a little girl.

Deacon: She gets that from her mother.

Brooke: Come on. Don’t sell yourself short. I mean, look around. Look at what you did. You had a vision and you’d brought it to life. That’s amazing. Ii giardino is a hit because of you.

Taylor: And there are no lies detected there. This place is packed for a reason.

Brooke: And I’ll bet that deacon sharpe is going to be the next hot los angeles restaurateur.

Deacon: Did I– I heard hot. Was that– it’s loud in here, but heard hot, yeah?

Brooke: Oh, yeah. I did say that.

Deacon: I like it.

Sheila: Guard! I– I have been sitting here forever. Is there a reason why you’re not taking me back to my cushy cell?

Guard: You have another visitor.

Sheila: I do. Well, who?

Sheila: My son, you came. Kayaking is my thing.

Sheila: You got my letters. I– I wrote you over and over since– since they’ve put me in here and… I started to lose faith that you would come and here you are.

Finn: Well, I wasn’t– I wasn’t sure I even wanted to or if I even should.

Sheila: There’s so much that I have to say to you. I’d be dead if you hadn’t shown me the compassion that you did.

Finn: I’m a doctor. Sheila, I was just doing my job.

Sheila: No. No, it was so much more than that. I– I flatlined. My heart stopped beating and you could have just left me there. Left me on that table to die.

Finn: I wouldn’t do that to my worst enemy.

Sheila: You fought for me. No one has ever fought for me before. But you did. I– I don’t know what– what you did or how, but you– you brought me back. And that has got to say something to the two of us, right? Mother and son. That the spiritual connection that we share. I mean, I gave you life and you gave me life. Thank you, son. I thank you for saving my life.

Steffy: You’re concerned about brooke?

Rj: It’s not con– I’m just– you know my mom. She’s– she’s always acting like everything’s fine and that she’s carefree, but… come on. She’s been through a lot recently, right?

Steffy: You’re not wrong about that.

Rj: I mean, you know the full story. You know everything.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah. I lived it.

Rj: I know I was gone for all of the drama, but, you know, I don’t wanna bash thomas. He’s our brother.

Steffy: Hey, rj, you have a right to your feelings. Thomas did hurt brooke, and you’re protective of her. I love that about you.

Rj: I told thomas that I’m gonna give him the opportunity to prove that he’s actually changed.

Steffy: Well, that’s good. No, that’s really good. If it helps, I– I believe him.

Rj: I know you do, steffy. I hope you’re right.

Steffy: He’s– he’s just in therapy now and he’s working on himself and I really feel like he’s a change man.

Rj: Yeah. But that– that’s the key. How he’s acting now, that doesn’t erase everything that he put my mom through. How he completely upended her entire life.

Steffy: Because she’s not with dad.

Deacon: Hey, I hope you guys saved some room for dessert because chef just pulled out a batch of our world-famous wedding cookies. I mean, wedding cookies.

Deacon: It’s good.

Taylor: God, it sounds–

Brooke: Oh.

Taylor: What is it?

Brooke: Uh, work wants me to come back and help pick out some fabrics, so.

Taylor: Oh.

Brooke: I’m sorry. I hate to cut this lunch short.

Taylor: No, it’s okay. Work is work. I got this. Yes. I’ll catch up with you later.

Brooke: Okay. Deacon, great to see you. And thanks again for such a wonderful meal. I gotta go.

Deacon: Well, I hate to see you go, but I’d love to watch you leave. I know. Cheesy, right? I’ve been waiting to try that one out. Seriously, come back soon. Okay? Please?

Brooke: Oh, I most certainly will.

Deacon: Okay.

Taylor: Okay. Okay. Deacon, you need to sit.

Deacon: I’m– I’m sorry that– I– I know that was boring for you to listen to us talking about our daughter and our history.

Taylor: No. No, it wasn’t– it wasn’t boring. It was sweet and fascinating. You know, that– that brooke and I have– have become very close, right?

Deacon: I’ve seen that.

Taylor: Yeah. And I– I feel like– I– I feel like I know her finally, you know. For the first time ever, she respects you, admires you. She knows you.

Deacon: I mean, brooke’s approval means a great deal to me. It really does. She doesn’t judge me for being a screw-up back in the day.

Taylor: Well, of course not. There’s a– there’s a reason that the two of you got together all those years ago. Created hope together.

Deacon: Okay. I see the little hamster wheel going on. What are you getting at here?

Taylor: You know, that brooke and I made a– a pact.

Deacon: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Put forrester in time out.

Taylor: Well, you know, it’s more about, you know, looking out for each other and– and putting our friendship first.

Deacon: I think that’s a great idea. I’m just not getting what it has to do with me.

Taylor: Well, you’ve made some– some huge strides in your life recently.

Deacon: I’d like to think so.

Taylor: And brooke sees that. I know she does. She respects that. What if– what if the timing is– is– is just right. You know, especially now that– now that ridge is out of the picture?

Deacon: And?

Taylor: I don’t know. I’m just thinking that this could be– this could be a opportunity, if you will, mr. Sharpe. You know, to have a shot at a life…

Deacon: With brooke.

Taylor: With brooke.

Days of Our Lives Update

Days of Our Lives logo

Update written by Joseph

Kristen is in the prison waiting room with an old photo of her, Brady, and Rachel. Megan Hathaway comes by from working in the mail room. Megan talks about how it keeps her connected to the outside world. Kristen doubts that there is anything for her but Megan reveals a letter that she says looks like it is from Rachel. Kristen demands the letter and grabs it from her. Kristen opens the letter. Megan asks what her niece has to say. Kristen reads the letter, saying she has the most amazing news that Brady and Chloe are definitely not getting back together and she knows for sure because she heard Brady tell John and Marlena that Chloe just moved in with Xander which excites Kristen.

Chloe and Xander rush in to the living room of their apartment after hearing glass break and believe someone is breaking in, but it turns out that a poster just fell off of the wall and broke.

John brings strawberries and cream to Marlena at home and they kiss.

In Athens, Greece, Kate tells Roman how much she missed him. Roman says no more looking back as they are here now together which he calls a miracle. Kate agrees and says even when she got away from Megan, she didn’t think she would make it out alive and back to Roman, but here she is, no thanks to Dimitri.

Harris questions Dimitri saying he’s holding another hostage. Harris argues that they searched every inch of the ship and only found him, Kate, and his henchmen so there’s nobody else here. Dimitri then asks who said anything about his hostage being on the ship. Harris argues that it doesn’t make any sense since Kate is all the leverage he needed and he could’ve ransomed her for a fortune. Dimitri remarks that it’s not always about money but he wouldn’t expect him to understand that. Dimitri says he was holding on to Kate until he had his ducks in a row and then right before they interrupted, he received the phone call that he was expecting. Harris asks who the mystery hostage is. Dimitri says all in due time, but for now he should be more worried about what he wants in exchange. Harris guesses he wants full immunity. Dimitri says that’s for starters, but he’s not stopping there.

Roman hopes Dimitri didn’t hurt Kate. Kate says it wasn’t pleasant being his guest, but it’s in the past and the more time he is in her mind, the more he wins. Kate asks about Bo since Steve said he’s in a coma. Roman confirms they are not sure when or if he will come out of it. Kate says she’s so sorry. Roman adds that Hope is moving Bo to a long term care facility. Kate asks how the family is handling that. Roman says they are doing their best and mentions that Kayla is back home in Salem while Ciara is on her way back home to Ben and their baby. Roman adds that he saw Shawn and he’s still a wreck because he blames himself. Roman notes that they all thought Bo was dangerous and there was a time that they thought Bo had shot and killed Kate. Roman asks how Kate got through to him. Kate says she reminded him of his family and Hope, but jokes that he didn’t snap out of it until she called him Megan’s lapdog. Roman acknowledges that Bo hated taking orders from anyone.

Kristen continues reading Rachel’s letter as she says that she hates seeing Brady so sad now that he broke up with Chloe because he’s really lonely, but she’s also glad that he’s not with Chloe anymore because she hates her which makes Kristen laugh.

John and Marlena kiss until Brady comes in. They tell him it’s okay as it’s his home too but Brady says not for much longer as he feels he and Rachel have imposed on them. Marlena insists that they love having them here. Brady says it will be a little longer since he hasn’t found a place yet but he has some leads. Marlena understands he feels he needs to do that but says they will miss having him around. Brady assures he won’t be far and notes that he actually thought he’d be across the street but Xander beat him to the perfect apartment and then he found out that Chloe is moving in with him, which shocks John and Marlena. Marlena tells Brady that she’s so sorry. John argues that Brady has pulled all the stops to try and fix things with Chloe, so he suggests that he try to forgive himself and move on. Brady responds that they are both trying, but he really hates the idea of Chloe moving in with Xander.

Xander questions why the poster would suddenly fall. Chloe blames Xander for not hanging it right. Xander argues that it was perfectly secure but then another picture falls off the wall. Chloe jokes about the irony but Xander says he’s not finding it funny and he’s starting to think the place might be haunted.

Brady tells John and Marlena that he can’t think of someone worse than Xander for Chloe to end up with. Marlena argues that it doesn’t mean she’s going to fall for him but Brady says it doesn’t mean she won’t either since not long ago, she couldn’t stand to look at Xander and now suddenly she is moving in with him. Brady adds that he can’t say Chloe is too smart to fall for him since Sarah did too. Brady remarks that Xander is not only a loser, but he’s dangerous too. John remembers Xander shooting Brady and Marlena. Brady doesn’t think Xander should get a pass just because they survived and points out that not everyone was as lucky.

Chloe questions Xander thinking the place is haunted or believing in ghosts. Xander says he’s from Scotland which he calls haunted as well. Chloe asks who he thinks is haunting him. Xander worries that it’s Susan Banks.

Megan tells Kristen to enjoy her night and continues on with the mail. Kristen continues reading the letter as Rachel says she would give more details but Brady changed the subject and they all started talking about Bo Brady instead. Megan then rushes back and asks what about Bo. Kristen thought she wasn’t interested but Megan demands to know what she said about Bo. Kristen reads that Rachel said everyone is upset because Hope had broken through to Bo and right when it looked like he was going to be his old self, Shawn shot him. Megan begins to panic.

Dimitri tells Harris that some people pray to the Lord to get what they want, but he hasn’t had much luck in that regard so he prefers to always be prepared. Dimitri informs Harris that he’s not the only one being persecuted by the powers to be, so he is not seeking one but two immunity grants, and warns that if he does not get them, his second hostage will soon have an appointment at the pearly gates.

Roman brings Kate back to their hotel room and says everyone was glad to see her. Kate jokes that Maggie might have been disappointed but Roman assures Maggie would never wish harm on anyone. Kate jokes about sleeping in a room that doesn’t smell like fish or make her sea sick. Roman acknowledges that she’s been to Hell and back, so she has a lot of pampering ahead of her and he’s not sure where to start. Roman suggests a bubble bath or a spa treatment. Kate says that Dimitri wanted to wine and dine her so he let her take a break and eat. Roman jokes that he’s running out of ideas if she doesn’t need to eat or the spa. Kate responds that she does have something important to ask of him. Kate then asks Roman to put her ring back on her finger.

Chloe asks Xander if he’s joking or if he actually thinks Susan Banks is haunting him. Xander reveals that he’s been expecting it for a while since he was responsible for Susan’s death. Chloe relates to feeling responsible for someone losing their life and never getting over it. Xander says she should get over it since El Fideo was a monster but Susan was sweet and died a horrible death that’s on him. Chloe says she’s not defending what he did but says at some point he has to move on with his life and learn from it. Xander says he’s been trying so hard to learn from his mistakes and not repeat them, but somehow, trouble always seems to find him or he finds it. Xander says he gets desperate for money and an opportunity arises, then he’s deep in something illegal that spirals out of control until something very bad happens like Susan Banks’ fiery death in the car crash. Chloe reminds him that Ava Vitali was behind the wheel. Xander complains that Susan wouldn’t have been in the car if he hadn’t kidnapped her or been weak and given in to Ava’s money. Xander adds that Susan would still be alive and he’d still be married to Sarah. Xander decides maybe the apartment isn’t haunted, but he is.

Marlena tells Brady that she would never condone Xander’s actions but points out that he wasn’t responsible for Susan’s death as it was Ava that drove her off the cliff. Brady argues that Xander started the whole series of events by kidnapping Susan in the first place. Brady calls that just the latest in his long list of crimes, bringing up how Xander switched Rachel at birth and complains that he never takes responsibility for these things. John remarks that Xander has that in common with his uncle Victor. Brady says he keeps thinking about Chloe being under the same roof as Xander and worries about when his next scheme is going to be and how he’s going to drag Chloe in to it. Brady complains that it’s all Xander does and declares that he belongs in prison.

Megan cries that this is an evil twist of fate as she’s in prison and asks how Bo is. Kristen informs her that Bo is in a coma and tries to encourage that it’s good news. Kristen talks about how she’s recovered from comas. Megan talks about everything she went through to save Bo and keeping him alive for all those years. Megan breaks down crying as Kristen tries to tell her it’s okay. Megan cries that Bo would have loved her again and she was so close. Kristen points out that all they have is a second hand account from a child eavesdropping and the mail takes forever, so maybe Bo is alright now. Megan argues that Bo is the whole reason that she came up with a plan to get herself out of here in the first place. Kristen asks if she means get them out then asks where they stand.

Harris tells Dimitri that he’s had enough of the games and questions who he’s trying to help with this co-immunity deal. Dimitri questions Harris not figuring it out after all the clues and says he certainly knows her well. Dimitri reveals that it’s Megan Hathaway.

Brady apologizes to Marlena and John for interrupting their romantic moment and then putting all his baggage on them. John assures they are always here to listen. Brady says he’s done and he’s going to think about the good things he has in his life. Brady says they are at the top of his list. Marlena says they love him. Brady thanks them for always being there for him. They say goodnight as Brady heads to his room. John tells Marlena that when it comes to love, Brady has had nothing but bad luck. Marlena hopes that Kristen doesn’t find out that Chloe is out of the picture or else she’ll break out of jail and be right back in Brady’s orbit.

Megan complains that the love of her life is in a coma and Kristen can only think about herself. Kristen points out that Megan is the one who brought up her mystery plan. Megan says it’s not a mystery to her. Kristen asks what the plan is then, reminding her that she kept up her end of not telling anyone about Bo. Megan asks who cares since she ended up blabbing it herself to Andrew Donovan anyway. Kristen shouts that’s not her problem and complains that Megan promised her freedom. Megan assures that she will have it as her plan is very much in the works and they simply needed to get things organized and sorted out. Kristen questions who is getting things organized and sorted out. Kristen demands to know right now who she has on the outside. Megan asks why that matters. Kristen says she needs to know that it’s real. Megan reveals that it’s Dimitri Von Leuschner. Kristen recalls him as the guy who tried to blow up the world with the Alamanian Peacock.

Dimitri reminds Harris that he was doing Megan’s bidding while Harris argues that he was brainwashed. Dimitri calls that a convenient excuse for killing people in pursuit of the prisms. Harris says he’s ashamed of what he did. Dimitri brings up Harris hesitating when he had Hope in his crosshairs or if true love reared it’s head. Harris calls that a sore subject. Dimitri remarks that Harris has terrible taste in women. Harris states that Megan is in prison and that’s where she is staying. Dimitri asks if he’s so sure about that. Dimitri warns that he might not have Kate to get what he wants, but he still has another ace up his sleeve.

Roman questions Kate taking her rings off. Kate explains that she was desperate and made a deal with one of Dimitri’s henchmen to give her rings for a phone call to Roman, but the call didn’t go through. Kate adds that when Chad and the others rescued her, she was not leaving the boat without her rings. Roman is surprised she carried the rings around the whole time. Kate says she was going to put them back on but she stopped because Roman put them on first, so she wanted him to do it again for the last time. Roman says it would be his honor. Roman puts the rings on her finger and kisses her.

Chloe brings Xander tea and hopes it will help him get back to sleep. Xander thanks her and apologizes if he freaked her out earlier. Xander decides Chloe was right that he just didn’t hang the pictures right and he nor the apartment are being haunted by the ghost of Susan Banks. Chloe is glad he’s calmed down but she’s sorry that he’s so tortured by what happened to Susan. Xander thanks her and hopes she doesn’t regret sharing the place with him. Chloe jokes that she can relate to him. They get close but Chloe says they shouldn’t make a habit of ending up like this in the middle of the night together. They each say they need to get to their beds but they end up leaning in close.

Kate tells Roman that she has a suggestion of what they can do in the hotel room as she then kisses him.

John and Marlena kiss until John’s phone rings with a call from his son Paul. John wonders why he’s calling so late as he answers the call.

Kristen tells Megan that she met Dimitri once in Amsterdam and he was under another name while fooling Billie. Megan brings up Kristen losing a sapphire necklace and tells her that Dimitri told her everything. Kristen questions what exactly her connection is to Dimitri. Kristen asks if Dimitri filled in when Megan couldn’t get Bo to love her. Megan remarks that she has no idea what she’s talking about and calls her so judgmental. Megan then reveals that Dimitri is Kristen’s nephew!

Harris tells Dimitri that he’s going to need a whole deck of aces if he wants immunity for he and Megan and that still might not be enough. Harris brings up Dimitri threatening the world in Zurick and calls it a deranged plan. Harris adds that Megan is the only person that he knows that’s more deranged than he is, so the ISA will never let either of them walk out. Dimitri assures that the ISA won’t stand in his way as they will insist that he is granted his freedom.

Chloe and Xander almost kiss but back away. Chloe hopes the tea helped and Xander thanks her for that. Xander apologizes for the nonsense about the pictures falling. They tell each other to have a good night and they head to their rooms.

Roman and Kate lay in bed together. Roman comments that he assumed he would never see her rings again as he assumed they were in the urn with her ashes. Kate asks what he did with the urn of ashes. Roman explains that he had it on the end of the bar at the Pub because it made him feel close to her. Kate compares it to Anna DiMera. Roman says he wasn’t carrying it all around town. Kate asks if he was talking to the ashes. Roman says the weird part is, Kate talked to him too and says he heard her voice, asking him to help her. Roman asks if she thinks he’s crazy. Kate admits it sounds weird, but it seems somewhat familiar as if she was reaching out to him while Megan had them on the deep freeze. Kate wonders if that’s possible. Roman says he will never deny their connection and all that matters is that she’s here in his arms for real. Kate says it doesn’t seem real and seems like a dream. Roman says if it is a dream, he never wants to wake up as they continue kissing.

Harris tells Dimitri to keep dreaming and questions why the ISA would want him to be free. Dimitri says because Shane Donovan runs the organization and assures that Shane will be very eager to give him what he wants. Dimitri declares that Shane will personally see to it that he and Megan are both set free.

Kristen doesn’t understand calling Dimitri her nephew. Megan then reveals that Dimitri is her son.

John thanks Paul for calling and says he’s on top of it and will keep him posted as they hang up. Marlena asks what’s going on as he sounds worried. John informs her that Paul wants him to reach out to Shane because Andrew Donovan is missing and apparently no one has heard from him for quite some time…

Harris questions why the hell Shane Donovan would give Dimitri what he wants. Dimitri responds that he won’t have a choice if he ever wants to see his offspring again. Harris then realizes that Dimitri’s mystery hostage is Shane’s son, Andrew.

Andrew is tied up and blindfolded somewhere in a dark room.

Diane: No, I’ll– I’ll stand. Is this about my case? Please, kyle, just… just tell me, how bad is it?

Kyle: It’s potentially good, mom. Very good. Diabetes can serve up a lot of questions,

Additional sponsorship provided by….

Billy: It’s understandable that you would feel that way. I didn’t exactly handle the breakup with your mom very well, after all.

Summer: Yeah, no kidding.

Billy: Look, summer, whatever issues that we have between us, I think it’s important that you know that I really respected phyllis. She was one of a kind, pure energy. That power wasn’t always used for good, but with that heart of hers, she loved the hell outta you and your brother.

Summer: I know that my mom loves me– loved me. But that love could be… overwhelming. I mean, she– she gave so much, but she demanded a lot in return.

Billy: Yeah. She was all or nothing. She lived life out loud and she expected everyone else to do the same, which didn’t exactly make it easy for the ones that cared for her. Look, summer, I hope I’m not overstepping by saying this. I know how much you loved her. But you two had your fair share of ups and downs.

Summer: She was so impulsive and reckless. She would act without thinking, you know? She would get something in her head and there was no talking her out of it. And she’d end up hurting people she loved and hurting herself even more in the process. All because she had decided that it was her against the world, even when it wasn’T.

Billy: That pretty much sums her up.

Summer: [ Scoffs ] That’s the thing. It didn’t have to be like that. She was never alone, not really. I was always on her side. Always. I just– I don’t know why she couldn’t see that.

Diane: I’m– I’m all for good news, but you don’t look like it’s good.

Kyle: Um, mom, there– there is a real possibility that the murder charges against you can go away.

Diane: What? How? Have– have the police found evidence or proof that I’m innocent?

Kyle: No. No. Not– not exactly.

Diane: Well, then how has anything changed? Kyle? Kyle, you’re not going to do anything illegal to protect me, are you? Because I will not have you putting yourself at risk for me.

Kyle: Look, the only person who has done anything illegal is phyllis.

Jack: Victor, I– I know we’re on better terms these days, but trust only goes so far.

Victor: Uh-huh. Now, jack, you and I have known each other for a long time. Okay? Something is going on. What’s bothering you?

Jack: Let it go, please?

Victor: Maybe you’re waiting for your fiancée to join you. However, she is wearing a beautiful ankle bracelet, courtesy of the authority.

Jack: Not for long.

Victor: Oh, yeah? What are they doing now? Issuing get-out-of-jail-free cards to murderers?

Jack: Diane did not kill phyllis.

Victor: If she didn’t, she belongs behind bars. She’s a bad woman and you know it.

Jack: If anyone belongs behind bars it–

Victor: What are you gonna say? Who belongs behind bars? Who?

Jack: Christine.

Christine: Gentlemen. Is there a problem?

Victor: Oh, my goodness. Christine, how do you do?

Christine: Hi.

Victor: All right. Well, you two have a nice dinner. Thank you.

Jack: Thank you so much for coming.

Christine: Jack, I really shouldn’t be here. I mean, meeting you before diane’s trial is completely inappropriate. I’m only doing it as a courtesy to a friend.

Jack: If– if you will just keep an open mind and listen to me for a few minutes, there will be no need for a trial.

Christine: Is that why you called me here? To lobby me to drop the case? Wait, this is–

Jack: No, no, no. Christine, don’t go. You need to hear this. This is something you wanna know.

Christine: What could possibly be so earthshattering that it would change the course of the case against diane?

Jack: Phyllis is alive.

[ Scoffs disbelievingly ]

Diane: Phyllis did something illegal? I don’t understand. She’s dead. How could whatever she did, legal or otherwise, affect my case or the charges against me? Is this connected to jeremy? Did they find proof that he killed her?

Kyle: No one killed phyllis, mom. It was all stageD. She’s alive. She set up the entire thing to frame you.

[ Gasps ] So I didn’t think I needed swiffer.

Daniel: What do you do when you wanna help someone, but trying to protect them just might make matters even worse?

Chelsea: Oh, I can relate. You just wanna help ’em, but you’re not sure what the right course is.

Daniel: What’s going on with you?

Chelsea: Connor. He’s been handed a curve ball lately and getting through to him has been difficult. You know, I just try to get him to open up, but he just shuts me down.

Daniel: Well, I’ve been there.

Chelsea: Any advice?

Daniel: You know, I don’t think that I’m the right person to ask.

Chelsea: I swear, the only thing harder than being a parent is being a kid. All the stuff the world throws at them. Um, which is why, actually recently, I came up with an idea.

Daniel: Really?

Chelsea: This is something I’ve been working on. An omega sphere world for kids. I mean, they’re the ultimate gamers anyway, right? Why not create a space that they already feel comfortable in? Help them feel safe feeling their feelings, whether they’re sad or happy or confused. You know, a parent-free zone. No judgments. No timeouts.

Daniel: Well… I think I could’ve used something like this when I was a kid. You know, since we’re here, since we’re caffeinated, clearly, um, why don’t we dive into where we’re at with the current game, and I’ll give you some updates?

Chelsea: Are you sure? I– I mean, I– are you in the right mindset? You’ve been going through a lot lately. If you wanna do it a different day, we can.

Daniel: No. This is exactly what I need right now. Distractions are the only things that are keeping me sane these days.

Billy: Look, I’m no expert on grief, but I know that when you lose someone that you love, “why,” that can send you into the weeds. “Why,” I don’t think it’s the best question. I think maybe “what.” As in, what would your mom want you to do? I know you and daniel, you were everything to her. Her heart and soul. She lived for you. She would die for you. And she would want you to find happiness again.

Summer: I don’t really think that that’s possible.

Billy: Oh, see, right there? No, that’s– that’s not a phyllis attitude. She was a fighter. She didn’t back down. When the going got rough, she doubled down.

Summer: Yeah. It could be exhausting.

Billy: [ Laughs ] Yeah. Unless she was in your corner. Then you knew you had someone to believe in you. Because she would go to the wall to protect you. I see a lot of phyllis in you. The good parts. Summer, you are smart and you are strong. You know what you want and you go after it and you don’t give a crap about what anyone else thinks. And for the people that are lucky enough to be loved by you, well, they know that you’re gonna do everything in your power to protect them. Over time, this will get a little bit easier. And look, you’re gonna miss her. But that part of her, that– that good part, it’ll stay alive for you, I promise. And here I am yammering on, and all you wanted was a little peace and quiet.

[ Summer laughs softly ] You take care. Okay?

Summer: Billy?

Billy: Yeah.

Summer: I’m sorry.

Billy: Sorry for what?

Summer: For being rude earlier about you and my mom.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Can I ask you one more question?

Summer: Could I stop you?

Billy: I think I know the answer to this. But why are you sitting here alone when you got a whole house full of people that love you and all they wanna do is help you? Now, look, I’m pretty sure you’re gonna say because you believe that you can handle this on your own. I hate to say this, but you can’T.

Summer: You don’t–

Billy: No, you can push me away. That’s fine. Okay? But don’t push all those people that love you and care about you. Don’t– don’t push them away. Like your friends and your family. Especially not kyle. He is crazy in love with you.

Summer: I don’t think that kyle or anyone knows what’s going through my head right now.

Kyle: Phyllis and stark staged her poisoning.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] But the ambulance crash, the– the explosion?

Jack: All orchestrated by phyllis and stark to fake her death.

Christine: But why?

Kyle: Phyllis wanted revenge on you so badly she was willing to go to any extreme to get what she wanted.

[ Gasps ]

Jack: But phyllis has come to regret her decision. She has secretly reached out to daniel.

Kyle: She’s scared and on the run.

Diane: But she’s alive.

Kyle: I know it’s hard to believe.

Jack: But it’s all true.

Christine: [ Sighs ] Well, that’s quite a story, jack, but that’s all it is. Fiction.

Jack: It is the truth, christine.

Christine: It’s desperation.

Jack: Tell me something. Why would daniel, of all people, invent something to help diane’s case?

Diane: Phyllis faked her death to frame me.

[ Scoffs ] I always knew that she was psychotic and vindictive, but this… this is pure evil. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Daniel: We are almost ready to test the prototype.

Chelsea: That’s so exciting. What does that mean? Sorry, I’m a newbie, remember?

Daniel: It’s essentially our first major milestone. We’ll run a test version, then we’ll take a look at functionality, user experience, gameplay, um, the art style. We figure out what works, what doesn’t work, and then we build from there.

Chelsea: Cool. But we can still tinker around with it?

Daniel: Absolutely.

Chelsea: Great. ‘Cause the deeper I dive into all this stuff, the more research I do, the more possibilities I see. Did you know some of these games can qualify to be fda-approved as therapy?

Daniel: I do know that. Isn’t that something?

Chelsea: Yeah, it really is. I– I just want this to be the best game, best tool. Resource. So, I’ve been meeting with experts to try to fine-tune everything we’ve been working on.

Daniel: Hmm. Well, you keep fine-tuning, because that prototype’s gonna be out before you know it.

Chelsea: Well, I can’t wait. And listen, thank you for taking the time to noodle around with all this.

Daniel: You have no idea how much I needed this.

Chelsea: I know you’ve been through something agonizing, and it’s really hard to find your way back from that. But from where I’m standing, you’ve got a lot to be proud of.

Daniel: Thank you. Not sure everyone else would see it the same way, though.

Summer: Daniel, I need to know what you’re thinking. What we’re gonna do next. Has mom called you again? Oh, I hope that she has. Even if she doesn’t say anything, I think it means that she’s thinking about coming home. We have to help her, daniel. We have to find her, no matter what it takes. ‘Cause I’m not gonna let her disappear on us. I have some ideas about how to bring her home safely. So, please just– just call me

[ Sighs ]

Diane: Phyllis has nearly destroyed my life and– and the lives of the people who love her. How can she be so hateful? So selfish? You know what? I have half a mind to hunt her down and drag her back here by her hair.

Kyle: Which is why michael didn’t want us to tell you.

Diane: Oh. Oh, you mean my lawyer is trying to protect his best friend somehow?

Kyle: No, he’s trying to protect you. He was– this is what he was afraid of. That you would get so upset, you’d try to break house arrest.

Diane: And that’s what I should do. I should hunt that bitch down and bring her back here.

Kyle: Mom, I know you’re angry. I understand. But you need to calm down.

Diane: Calm down? What? And– and– and– and do nothing? Oh, my god. Where– where are the police in all this? Why haven’t they found her? And if phyllis is so remorseful and misses her kids so much, then why is she still in hiding?

Kyle: She’s probably facing legal consequences.

Diane: You mean like life in prison for murder, which was my future, thanks to her.

[ Huffs ] But not any longer. So, what’s the plan? What’s the plan? How soon are the charges against me dropped? When will I be free again?

Kyle: There is a process.

Diane: What process? Phyllis is alive.

Kyle: Yeah. Well, we don’t have proof. Just daniel’s word. But I swear to you, dad and i will do everything we can to get the evidence we need. He’s with christine right now trying to convince her to put the gcpd on it.

Diane: I can’t believe your father wanted to keep this from me. When I asked him what was going on, he outright lied to me.

Kyle: No, he only wanted to protect you. He didn’t want you to get your hopes up.

Diane: But this is happening, right? I mean, I’m going to be free again?

Kyle: It’s only a matter of time.

[ Sighs in relief ]

Diane: I’m going to be free. Thank you for telling me. No, thank you. [ Laughs ] Oh, my gosh. I can take harrison to the park again. I– I’m going to be able to go out to dinner. I can hold my head high. I mean, whatever process is ahead, I can get through it knowing that my freedom is on the other side. Does summer know?

Kyle: I wanted to tell her as much as I wanted to tell you, but daniel begged me not to.

Diane: Why? Can’t he see how much she’s suffering?

Kyle: He was afraid it would crush her knowing that phyllis put her through all of this. And that phyllis reached out to daniel, not summer, when she was ready to reveal herself.

Diane: You know, how heartless can phyllis be? I mean, she put getting revenge above the well-being of her children.

[ Sighs ] Not– not that I have anything that I can judge after what I put you through.

Kyle: We’re long past that, mom.

Diane: Tell summer. She needs to know that her mother’s alive.

Kyle: Even if it breaks her heart?

Diane: Sh– she has you. And the sooner she knows, the sooner she can heal and the sooner your relationship can heal. And kyle, it’s– it’s your choice. But the toll a secret this big can take… I don’t know if a marriage can survive that.

Christine: If phyllis is so remorseful and determined to be with her children, why is she god knows where and not home?

Jack: She is afraid of prosecution, fraud, falsifying evidence, obstruction of justice. Whatever you can throw at somebody who’s trying to fake their own death. And she’s got a da who’s not a fan of hers, who will make the charges stick.

Christine: I don’t suppose daniel has any evidence, a photograph, a recording?

Jack: No, but he’s willing to sign an affidavit.

Christine: Oh, which means nothing, jack. Come on, there’s more questions than answers. There’s no evidence. We’re taking the word of a grieving son.

Jack: Okay. There is one other charge phyllis could be afraid of.

Christine: And what might that be?

Jack: Murder.

Christine: Excuse me?

Jack: Phyllis killed jeremy stark.

Christine: Oh, you know, this is ridiculous.

Jack: You have another suspect? You have any leads that might lead you to who killed him? I’m giving you one. Phyllis. Is that enough to get your attention? Is that enough to get you to get the gcpd involved in this?

Christine: You know what? You’ve given me a crazy story that’s very light on facts. Okay? So, we’re done here.

Jack: I’ll give you one more fact. Phyllis killed jeremy stark with a pair of scissors. Head & shoulders is launching something huge.

“The young and the restless” will continue.

Chelsea: Mm. Have you noticed how much of our relationship involves pastries? Cinnamon buns in particular?

Billy: Is that a bad thing?

Chelsea: Nope.

Billy: You know, when I walked in here, I saw you and daniel wrapped up in the world of omega sphere. If you wanna keep working, I can take this cinnamon bun somewhere else.

Chelsea: No way. You and this bun stay here.

Billy: All right.

Chelsea: Especially because we’re celebrating.

Billy: Is that right? What are we celebrating?

Chelsea: The prototype is almost ready.

Billy: That’s amazing.

Chelsea: Yeah. So, this game, it’s not just a hope or a– or a dream or a wish. It’s really happening.

Billy: That’s fantastic. Congratulations.

Chelsea: Thank you. And I’m actually bringing a new aspect to it that involves kids. So, it’s gonna be new lessons, new challenges that help them deal with real life.

Billy: Are we still talking about omega sphere or does this have more to do with connor now?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Billy, I am so worried about him. He’s become so withdrawn.

Billy: Yeah. He’s got a lot going on and he’s just trying to figure out all those feelings.

Chelsea: Yeah. Maybe it’s my fault.

Billy: Why would you say that?

Chelsea: My life. My… episode. Maybe he feels like he can’t lean on me, or else I’m gonna fall apart. Or maybe, I don’t know, maybe he’s stuffed down all of these feelings over the past few months that are finally coming to the surface. Or… maybe he’s angry at me for almost leaving him.

Billy: I think you’re being too hard on yourself. You’re being a concerned, attentive parent. You’re doing all the right things.

Chelsea: Am I? [ Laughs ] Adam and I are not shining examples of healthy behavior, let’s be honest. And it worries me what that could mean for our son.

Billy: I mean, I understand that. I look at johnny and katie sometimes and think their dad has got a very addictive personality. I don’t know if that’s locked in their genes or if that’s something that can be stopped.

Chelsea: [ Exhales ] Well, certainly not something we can solve tonight. But you know what we can do?

Billy: What’s that?

Chelsea: Pat ourselves on the back for making it through another day without screwing up royally.

Billy: I like the sound of that.

Chelsea: Do you?

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: I’ll get it embroidered on a pillow. I’ll get one for you. I’ll get one for me.

Billy: [ Laughs ] Oh.

Jack: Now that I have your attention, perhaps you and I can discuss the best way to flush phyllis out of hiding and get her back to genoa city.

Christine: Jack, I won’t be goaded into action. Okay? There’s no evidence that phyllis is alive or that she killed stark. This whole story is just way too convenient. You’re too involved.

Jack: Everything– everything I have told you can be proven, if we find phyllis. One phone call from you and the police can make that happen.

Christine: Oh, so, you want an overburdened police department to spend resources trying to track down a woman who’s legally been declared dead?

Jack: Except she isn’T. And now diane is shackled with a bogus murder charge because the woman who framed her is alive and well. Christine, if you have any sense of justice in you, you– you have no choice but to get the police involved.

Christine: Do not question my sense of justice.

Jack: I don’t understand your hesitation in acting on this. You know phyllis.

Christine: Yeah.

Jack: You have your own history with her. Does it make you think that anything I’m saying is improbable?

Christine: Yes. Yes, it does. Because you know what? As hateful as she has been to me and as capable as she is of doing real harm, the one thing she would never do is abandon her kids. Not like this.

Jack: Well, she did.

Christine: Okay. You know this conversation’s over, right? You want me to believe you? You bring me some proof. Concrete proof.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door opens, closes ]

Kyle: Hey, glad you’re home. It was getting late.

Summer: I didn’t realize I had a curfew. Uh, did the nanny call you? She met me at the park and took harrison to a sleepover.

Kyle: She did. I’m sure he’s having a great time.

Summer: Yeah.

Kyle: How are you?

Summer: Why are you looking at me like that? What’s wrong?

Kyle: Nothing. It’s good news.

Summer: Really? We haven’t had a lot of that lately. I don’t suppose that tucker’s moving out?

Kyle: Uh, no. No, not exactly.

Summer: Okay. Well, whatever it is, go ahead and tell me, I’m really tired. I wanna go to bed.

Kyle: I– I– I don’t know how to say this, or where to begin, so I’m just gonna say it. It’s your mom.

Summer: My mom? What about her?

Kyle: She’s alive. Mr. Clean magic eraser powers

Billy: I just tried to remind summer that she’s got a lot of family and friends that really care about her, that wanna help her through this grief.

Chelsea: She and daniel are really struggling. Good for you for trying to make her feel better.

[ Billy laughs softly ] You’re a really good man. You know that? I just got shivers.

Billy: The good kind?

Chelsea: The good kind.

Billy: That’s interesting. Me, too.

Chelsea: You sure it wasn’t a sugar rush?

[ Both laugh ]

Billy: No. It was all you. You know, when I walked in here and saw you and daniel working away, I could see your excitement, your energy.

[ Chelsea laughs ] You light up the room. And you bring that same heart to everything you do. Being a mother, a friend, movie night.

[ Chelsea laughs ] I just appreciate this slow dance that we’re doing. Taking this one step at a time to make sure that we do it right, it’s important. You bring me happiness. You give me hope and excitement for the future. We accept each other. And we support each other and that’s a really good thing. How could I not love being with you?

[ Chelsea chuckles ] That smile makes me think anything is possible.

[ Chelsea inhales sharply ] Hey. You okay?

Chelsea: Yeah. It’s no– it’s nothing.

Billy: Chelsea, you can talk to me.

Christine: [ Exhales ] Hey, thanks for meeting me.

Chance: What’s going on?

Christine: [ Sighs ] I have some crazy news for you.

Summer: So, daniel said that, uh, she contacted him? When? How?

Kyle: She called him a few days ago and they– they met at the lookout at the park. He said he couldn’t believe it when he saw phyllis standing in front of him.

Summer: Yeah. Can’t imagine. What I don’t understand is why– why– why would he tell you and not me?

Kyle: He didn’t want you to be upset that she chose to reveal herself to him and not you. He didn’t want you to be hurt.

Summer: Isn’t lying to me hurting me?

Kyle: Look, daniel only wanted to wait until we had real proof or that we could track phyllis down. Babe, I’m– I’m sorry she didn’t reach out to you.

Summer: Yeah, I’m sure that she had her reasons.

Kyle: Well, with– with any luck, you’ll be able to see her soon.

Summer: So, you believe daniel?

Kyle: Why– why– why would he lie about something like this? I– he saw phyllis, he spoke to her. He knew that stark was killed with a pair of scissors. How else would he know that if he hadn’t talked to phyllis?

Summer: Who else knows about this?

Kyle: My dad and michael.

Summer: [ Gasps ] They’re gonna go to the police! My mom’s gonna be arrested.

Kyle: No, daniel was adamant that we had to protect phyllis. That she was a victim in all of this. But my dad did take the information to christine.

Summer: What? Kyle, she hates my mom, she’s–

Kyle: No, no, we will do everything we can to protect phyllis. But there is one more thing. I told my mom. I thought she had a right to know. No. Hey, hey, hey, don’t shut down on me, summer. Don’t shut me out. Please. Tell me how you’re feeling.

Diane: There you are.

Jack: Has something happened?

Diane: Yes, it has. Kyle told me.

[ Jack sighs ] It should’ve been you, jack. Partial response:

Chelsea: I try to maintain this constant vigilance every day. I check in on myself. I do. I ask myself how I’m feeling. Am I okay? Am i not okay? And lately, I’ve– i’ve– I’ve been okay. But then it feels like every time i’m enjoying myself or if I’m actually happy, like when you look at me the way you’re looking at me right now, I ask myself if I deserve it.

[ Voice breaking ] I ask myself if it’s real. Um, or if I’m gonna screw it up.

[ Chuckles dryly ] And then I’m hit with this other thought. I almost wasn’t here for this. I almost wasn’t here for anything. For my son. And then I just get this rush of– of fear, billy, and I’m back on that roof and– and– and I’m alone and I’m scared. And I can feel the wind. And I can– I can feel how cold it was. And how easy it would be.

Billy: Chels. Hey, look at me. You are here.

Chelsea: I am.

Billy: You are here.

Chelsea: I am. I’m here because of you. And I’m– and I’m happy. I’m happy being here with you.

[ Exhaling deeply, sniffling ]

Billy: You okay? It’s a beautiful night. How about we go for a walk? Lit by the moon. Huh?

Chelsea: I’d like that.

Kyle: What are you thinking?

Summer: I don’t know what to think. I guess I’m scared to hope that my mom is really out there.

Kyle: Hey, you don’t have to be afraid, summer. Your mom is alive. Why would daniel tell me something that isn’t true?

Summer: Yeah. Why would he tell you? ‘Cause I’m not gonna let her disappear on us. I have some ideas about how to bring her home safely, so please just– just call me as soon as you get this.

[ Indistinct whispering ]

Chance: That’s one hell of a story.

Christine: Yeah. With zero actual evidence that phyllis is out there.

Chance: What do you make of it?

Christine: Wishful thinking. Deflection, a part of michael’s defense strategy. I don’t know.

Chance: [ Exhales ] Well, there is one real fact in all this: Stark was killed with scissors.

Christine: Obviously, there’s a leak in the department and michael took advantage of it.

Chance: Yeah.

Christine: Okay. Well, I’m just letting you know in case jack approaches you, which I have no doubt he will.

Chance: Well, I appreciate the heads-up. Desperate people do desperate things, huh?

Jack: I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. I didn’t wanna give you hope without having the evidence we want to show the world that you are innocent.

Diane: I know you did it to protect me. Your intentions were in the right place.

Jack: Then I’m forgiven?

Diane: How can I be angry at a man I love so much?

Jack: I promise you, we are so close to ending this nightmare. Soon, soon you will be free and we will get married as we planned.

Diane: That’s all I want.

Jack: I am not going to give up until that happens. Phyllis put you in this mess. Come hell or high water, by god, she’s gonna get you out of it.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[Baby crying]

Sasha?

Sasha? Are you all right?

Well, you haven’t been in front of the cameras for quite a while. Looks like someone’s got a little bit of the jitters.

[Baby crying]

Crank the baby crying in sasha’s headset up to eight.

Got it.

[Dramatic music]

Come on, sasha. Hang in there. Hang in there.

Sasha, you don’t look so good.

What was I thinking? What do you mean?

Look, I get why you want to go on the rescue mission.

Oh, good, because as far as motives go, stopping a genocidal maniac is self-explanatory to me.

It’s one thing to go up against victor. It’s another thing to take on a virus which has an 80% kill rate.

I know. But there are worse odds. And you and I have faced those.

Were you thinking about your daughter? Were you thinking about noah? Were you thinking about emma? How about even me? I mean, you’re gonna run off and die with this guy. Shouldn’t you be putting your family first?

Don’t say that. Don’t ever say that i have prioritized anyone or anything above my family. Don’t do that. You would have done the exact same thing.

We’re not talking about me.

Ok, but you know that I’m right. You would do anything. You would risk everything for the woman that you love.

First I got to choose the woman.

Sorry I’m late. Really I am. I have work, and I can tell you all about it, but I know you don’t want to hear about it. What’s the occasion?

I know I did the right thing, but I need you to tell me that I did the right thing and I didn’t make A…

there she is.

Fool out of myself.

I’m so lookingforward to a drink.

[Laughs]

You want to tell me what’s going on?

Not really.

Where’s your handsome husband? I thought he was joining us.

He was, right up until he got called into the station on a case.

Ugh, that’s the trouble with law enforcement. Always on duty. He should become a criminal. They have very flexible schedules. Apparently.

Oh, well, I’ll suggest it when he retires.

Much though I’d like to celebrate with mac, I’m actually quite pleased that it’s just you and me. A girls’ night.

Yeah, honestly, me too. Now, I know what you’ve been up to, but what’s next? Are you back in port charles for good?

Uh, that’s the idea, if I’m wanted.

How am I supposed to get that much money together so quickly? It’s impossible.

There might be another way for you to repay your debt.

Venmo? Crypto? I mean, will you take a check? I can write you a check.

No. Let’s step away, shall we, and talk about this somewhere more private.

[Tense music]

[Knock at door]

Come in. Thanks for coming.

Thank yo u for calling meand asking me. We were interrupted at the hospital, and there’s still so much more I have to say.

I’m listening.

[Dramatic music]


No. No, thank you.

Ok. Well?

Well, like I was telling you at the hospital, I’ve been doing some soul searching, carly. And I realized that I have been acting from a place of fear and that fear has led me to make some poor decisions. I hurt people, most of all willow. And in that fear and jealousy, I blamed you for the distance between me and willow, and that was wrong. But I think it’s easier for me to hate you than accept the consequences of my own actions. I know it’s late. I understand that now. I’m so sorry.

Is that it?

I don’t have the money now, but I can get it.

Who’s that, your steno?

I was under the impression that you’re sasha’s guardian.

That’s true.

And as her guardian, you have complete control over sasha’s finances.

Right, but it’s a lot of money to move all at once. Sasha might have questions. But I suppose it’s not impossible. I just need to be subtle about it.

I understand your quandary. Availing yourself of sasha’s money to pay off your growing debts could put you in an awkward position, with sasha certainly, but legally as well. But like I said, there are other ways for you to make good. After all, money isn’t everything.

[Baby crying]

There’s a problem, I think, with my earpiece.

A problem? What kind of problem? I don’t hear anything in mine. What are you hearing, exactly?

Something is up with sasha.

Ok, maybe maxie pushed her too soon into this. You know, really, maybe she’s not ready.

No, that’s not it. Look, something’s wrong with her earpiece.

The deceptor is a portable home spa device for the woman on the go.

Louder, I want that baby wailing in her ear.

Ok.

You know what, forget the wailing. Just cut the sound, or I’m gonna start streaking.

You what?

Cut the sound now, or I’m gonna start streaking. By the way, it’s huge, the fcc fine, so cut the sound now.

[Dramatic music]

It’s easy to use and–

and just look at deceptor’s design. I mean, so much thought went into that.

Now, flora, I’m sure our viewers would really rather hear all about it from the face of deception herself. Go ahead, sasha. All eyes are on you.

What do you mean by that? Choose the woman?

You’re tired. It’s late. And I’ve kind of overstayed my welcome.

Well, you did that when you rang the bell. You can’t– this is so typical of you. You come barging in here, pick a fight with me just because you have something else on your mind. So what is it?

Holly has indicated that she wants to have a relationship with me.

Ok. Good. I know you care about her. What’s the problem?

The problem is… another woman.

Does this mean ethan’s safe?

Not really. But australia is familiar territory. He has to replenish his funds if he is going to–

pay back the people he stole from.

Make restitution.

Oh, is that what they’re calling it these days?

It’s not entirely his fault. He’s young. And both his parents have been known on occasion to avail themselves of things that aren’t necessarily theirs.

Case in point.

I may have given robert a slight ultimatum.

How slight?

I told him not to call me until he had decided between holly and me.

Shall we relocate?

Why?

I just thought this might be a little awkward.

Well, it’s only awkward if we make it so. And actually,if robert’s fond of diane, then I should take advantage of this opportunity to get to know her a little bit.

It’s early days for robert and me, but I’m not going to waste my time if he is in love with holly.

May we join you?

Hi. Yes.


First of all, haven, flora, and especially the viewers at home, I am so sorry. My earpiece was making this horrible noise. You want to know what it sounded like, haven? You know what, it’s not important. Once again, viewers, thank you so much for staying tuned in. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Well, don’t keep us in suspense, sasha. Tell us all about the deceptor.

The deceptor is a revolutionary new product. It’s the home spa device for the woman on the go.

Ooh. And how does it work? I’m dying to know. Right, haven?

Right, right.

It’s really simple. Would you like to be my model, flora?

Oh, I would love to.

I think you’re going to love the results.

[Soft music]

Of course, join us.

Actually, alexis, would you and felicia mind if I had a moment alone with ms. Sutton?

No, not at all.

Why don’t we order the second round?

Great idea. You know what I like.

Diane?

I have everything I need right here.

Well, all right. Ok. You can have my seat. Help yourself.

You think they need a referee?

Ms. Sutton–

please, holly.

Holly, of course. Now, you and I don’t know each other very well, but you strike me as a woman who is direct and to the point.

Guilty as charged.

So let’s lay our cards on the table, shall we?

They’re both brilliant, funny, amusing. While holly is electrifying, diane, well, there’s an ease about her. I can talk shop. Hell, I can talk anything.

And there’s little to no chance that you’d have to prosecute her in the next few months, whereas holly–

yeah. Well, you said that, not me.

Just ’cause you’re thinking it.

Mm. Yeah, well, I– what should I do here?

I don’t know. Maybe witness protection or something.

Come on. You’re being picky.

I don’t know what you want me to say. I mean, you’ve always managed to make your own decisions in the past.

Yeah, but this one’s kind of got me a bit twisted.

[Soft music] Diane has stated in no uncertain terms she will not compete for my attention.

Good for her.

And holly–

yes, I’m sure that she has no problem with competition.

[Sighs] Every time I see her face, it’s like I’m– like I’m home. Diane, she challenges me.

And holly doesn’t?

Well, yeah, she does, but it’s– it’s like, well–look, I come to you because you’re always honest with me, sometimes when I don’t want you to be. But what do I do here?

Well, that’s all we have time for tonight, so I would like to thank my special guests, flora gardens–

oh, always a pleasure, haven.

And the face of deception herself, sasha gilmore. So until next time, happy homes and warm hearts.

[Upbeat music]

And we’re out.

Well, that went great, sasha.

It did. I’m sorry to disappoint you. You’ll be hearing from my lawyers. I did it!

You sure did. You were amazing.

You did do it. You did do it. You did do it. You were so amazing, really. But you got to tell us what happened at the beginning of the segment.

Someone was piping a sound effect into my earpiece, a crying baby.

Oh, they did not. No, no.

I knew you did something to that poor girl’s earpiece, but a crying baby?

I did no such thing.

Oh, don’t you lie to my face, haven. Of all the rotten, lowdown, despicable things to do to a woman who lost a baby. I mean I thought the tweets were bad enough, but, I mean, to try to push poor sasha over the edge on live tv–

there was obviously a screw-up. I will find the culprit.

Oh. I think we’re looking at the culprit. And you know what else I think? Maybe I don’t want to be the number one seller on a show where these kind of mistakes happen. I quit!

Flora, wait. Those baby sneakers are not going to sell themselves.

Look, I’m ok. Yes, I had a second when I thought history was repeating itself, I was imagining it.

It’s horrible. It must have been terrifying.

It was. But then I can’t explain it, but I knew that the sound coming through my earpiece was real. It wasn’t a hallucination. It wasn’t liam. I knew that I was being manipulated and that I could keep going.

Ms. Gilmore, I’m really sorry. There’s just one more caller, and they are insisting on talking to you about the deceptor. Can we patch her through?

Oh, wow, wow, wow. You know, you must be as morally bankrupt and deranged as your boss to think that sasha would trust you, or this show, or anybody here anymore.

Lucy, it’s ok. I can handle it. Patch it through.

Hey. No stunts. Do you hear me? No, ok.

It’s not a stunt.

You swear no stunts?

Yes, yes. Ok. Yeah. Ok. You’re live.

This is sasha.

– Sasha?

Sasha gilmore?

It’s me. What can I do for you?

– You’re back. I’d heard your baby had died and then your husband died. Such a tragedy for a young person like yourself.

Yes. It was a tragedy. But thanks to the support of my family and friends, I am doing much better.

– Isn’t that a miracle?

It is. And you know what else is a miracle? A new device we call the deceptor.

I know better than to think that you would accept my apology.

If you were me, would you accept your apology?

You know what I would do, carly? I would at least acknowledge it.

You want acknowledgment, a blue ribbon for self-awareness? You talk about what you want from willow, but you don’t talk about what you want for willow. Now, me, I want willow to be safe, happy, and healthy. Can you say the same?


and willow pulls through, I want my daughter to have a happy, long, healthy life. That’s all I want, and… even if I’m not part of it.

I almost believe you.

But if there is a way that I can be part of it, if there’s a way that I can repair our relationship, I’m just telling you that i am willing to do anything.

Nina, you just don’t get it, do you? You just don’t get it.

Get what?

The more you push, the more you drive people away. And what do you mean, repair your relationship? What relationship? What is there to repair?

You’re right. When I first met willow, when she was charlotte’s teacher, I made her life miserable, I did. And I should not have done that, even if she wasn’t my daughter. But when I found out that she was mine, I tried and I’m trying to heal our relationship. But of course, that’s after I scorched the earth ten times over. And we all know that. And that’s why…

[Soft music] In hindsight, I’m relieved that she had you, carly, because willow needed a mother, and I couldn’t be that for her.

But you could. And you did. And for that, I am truly thankful.

You don’t waste any time. I like that.

Who wants to go first?

May I?

Please.

I apologize for kissing robert in his office. Obviously, we had no idea you were there.

And by that, I shall infer that you know. All right. Robert and I had been on exactly one date. And I don’t ask for exclusivity until well into the second. As such, my relationship with robert, whatever it may be, is still in the nascent stage, so there’s no apology necessary.

Well, still, it wasn’t appropriate.

Well, that’s between you and robert. Here’s where I stand on things. And I have told this to robert as well. I will not compete with another woman for a man’s attention.

Fair enough. And you should know that i have strong feelings for robert.

And you have told robert of these feelings?

Why hold back? I mean, robert and I have been dancing around each other for 30 years.

And you believethat robert has these feelings for you as well. That’s what you’re trying to say, isn’t it?

Robert and holly are two of my oldest friends. I just want what’s best for them.

Yeah, I want what’s best for diane.

Of course you do, but you know, with holly, she knows what she wants or what’s next.

You sound like you don’T. That doesn’t sound like you.

Well, I’m not exactly lost and aimless.

Oh, I am. Trust me. It’s not fun.

Well, actually, I’m looking for a new project, something I can get excited about, kind of like with you and “the invader.” I mean, you’re on a mission to serve the community and make real positive change.

That was the plan from the start.

Not now?

Well, it’s still the plan. It’ll always be the plan. If I’m going to be perfectly honest with you, “the invader” actually isn’t what I wanted it to be.

You were just amazing. You know, you seized the day. You beat them at their own game. I’m so, so, so happy.

Good news, ladies. The deceptor is flying off the shelves.

Of course it is because it’s a wonderful product. But also, you know, pain sells. But you already knew that, didn’t you? Listen, you wimpy little weasel, you and haven, and “home and heart,” you’re going to make this right. You hear me? You are going to make this right!

Well, well, well, cody bell. What are you, a big fan of the “home and heart” shopping channel?

How else could I add to my porcelain cat collection?

You didn’t see those inflammatory tweets that the show had people post?

I do not understand. What are these tweets you speak of?

I saw you talking to that pa. You got her to stop that sound effect.

If you say so.

Right. Well, anyway, we’re gonna go celebrate at the savoy. You in?

I want to pull out haven’s hair. If I had any idea this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have put you through it ever. But you did…

I got a thing. Next time.

Your loss.

But hey, make sure sasha has fun. She deserves it.

[Soft music]

You have options. There are things I value more than money.

Such as?

Assets, of which you have many.

Not really. I mean, I guess I could finally unload my house back in bridgeport.

I’m referring to your connections.

Connections? You think I have connections?

Don’t sell yourself short. You may hold knowledge of certain business dealings, certain arrangements that could prove useful to me and my organization.

Business dealings? Oh, you want the skinny on what goes on at deception because I can– wait. Are you talking about my cousin sonny?


I can’t tell you what to do.

Well, tell me what not to do. That’s the next best thing.

Um, I don’t know. I mean a new person is always very exciting, whereas an old love is kind of comforting.

Holly and I certainly know each other inside and out.

Yes, you do.

On the other hand, diane takes the law very seriously, and you do also.

And holly looks upon it at best a challenge, at worse an obstacle.

It’s very exciting though, isn’t it?

I’m back to square one.

Ok. I mean, I can totally understand why you don’t know how to make this decision because you never thought that you would ever be in a position like this, right?

No, I didn’T. But for what it’s worth, I’m not surprised. You’re quite the catch. You do have your moments, you know, rare as they are.

Oh, I got to go. I got–

are they just quite–

tell what’s-his-face goodbye.

You mean good night.

Yeah, that too.

[Sighs]

[Soft music]

I thought he’d never leave.

My god.

Robert and I fell in love decades ago. And those feelings never went away, certainly not for me, and I don’t think for robert either. But to answer your question, in typical robert scorpio fashion, he has neither confirmed nor denied.

Well, good to know that’s his mo.

Exactly. And I wanted you to know this because– and I realize this is going to sound patronizing.

But you’re gonna say it anyway.

I don’t want you to get hurt.

[Laughs] Well, thank you for your concern, but, really, I’ll be fine. As I said to robert, I have no intention on going to war over a man, especially one who, at this stage, is still just a friend.

And you should remain friends. I would be completely comfortable with that.

Would you? Well, that’s good to know. That’s very generous. So let’s say I bow out, and you and robert pick up right where you left off.

The ideal situation for me.

Yes. So here’s what i don’t understand. What makes you so confident that your relationship will work out this time?

The news that I want to report is just a fraction of the news that needs to be reported. And there’s administrative and economic issues. Well, “t he invader” may not beexactly what you envisioned when you started there, but I mean, it’s become a respected publication. And that’s because of your leadership.

Thank you. I really do appreciate that perspective.

Am I wrong?

I think you’re very kind. I spend most of my time finding advertisers, managing investors, managing staff. And to be perfectly honest, it’s a little disappointing that my dream for “the invader” just really hasn’t entirely come true.

Yet. But if anybody can make it happen, alexis, it’s you.

N’neka, your best bubbly, ok? We’re celebrating.

Ok, I promise. I promise you I was very, very polite when I cornered the “home and heart” producer. I just said russell, russell, russell, I mean, intentional infliction of emotional distress, et cetera, et cetera, lawsuit, lawsuit. Guess what. We ended up with five more spots for deception– primetime.

That’s amazing, lucy.

Of course, comes with one condition, mine, not theirs.

Ok. What is it?

I want you to be deceptor’s spokeswoman.

Ok. I’ll help with willow.

Oh, my god. Thank you so much. That’s more than I even dared to hope. Of course, we don’t want to do anything to make willow feel uncomfortable, right? So I was thinking that maybe you could set up a phone call.

Nina.

Then if that goes well, carly, we could maybe–

ok, stop, please. I want to be really clear here. I will help you with willow by supporting whatever decision she makes for her family. If she decides to let you in, I promise you I will not stand in the way. But if willow decides she wants nothing to do with you, I won’t advocate for you.

[Soft music]

I should have known that you weren’t going to help.


I don’t know anything about sonny’s business.

But you’re close.

No, not really. Sonny doesn’t like me that much.

Even so, you might know more about his business than you realize.

I’m telling you I don’T. Trust me. That’s asking for trouble that neither of us wants.

I don’t understand why you seem so bothered by the suggestion. After all, it’s one way for you to settle your ever-increasing debt.

I can get the money. I just need a few more days.

You have until tomorrow. Noon.

That’s not enough time.

I grow tired of making allowances for someone who won’t take a gift when offered.

Oh, listen. I am so thankful for your patience. Really.

Perhaps I’ve been too patient. Noon tomorrow. And if you can’t pay, perhaps sasha will.

[Tense music]

Thank you both for being so supportive.

Never doubted you for a second.

I did. I mean–sorry. If I’m being honest, I did actually have some doubts. I was fearing the worst, but then–I don’t know. You just pulled it together, and you became this magnificent creature that I knew you could be.

Well, thank you regardless. Honestly. I don’t know what I would have done if you two weren’t there.

Well, that’s very nice of you to say, but I think you would have made it. I mean, even when you got distracted, you weren’t falling apart.

Mm-mm, you got right back on your feet, and you just did it. There was no stopping you.

Right. I mean, you kept your focus. You kept the segment going. And you really stuck that landing like a boss.

You know what, you’re right. I feel more like myself than I have in a really long time.

Ok, that’s good, really. Just don’t rush it too much. I mean, if you want to, then you know me, I say go for it, pedal to the metal. But just pace yourself.

Maybe it’s the rush talking, but now I’m wondering, maybe it’s time that I get back in the driver’s seat. What do you think, brook lynn?

I think you know when you know. But from where I’m standing, absolutely.

Ah, yummy. Perfect timing. Please, ladies.

Oh, my god. It can’t be that late. I told maxie that I was going to stop by her place and bring her some soup. Anyway, thank you so much for the chat. I mean, you’ve really given me a lot to think about.

Same here.

I cannot believe that I came here groveling and begging for your forgiveness and help. I never should have listened to drew.

Drew? What the hell did drew say?

He said that I should come here and acknowledge my mistakes and be honest. But you, carly, you don’t listen.

Nina, no one can save your relationship with willow but you.

But I’m standing here asking you how.

Then stop. Stop. Stop pushing through every boundary that willow sets a million miles an hour and have some patience, patience for a young girl battling cancer. I mean, all you do is put your needs ahead of willow’s time and time again.

You’re such a hypocrite.

Maybe I am. But maybe I’m not. But we both know right now I’m right. I’m right about you. And I’m right about willow. You want to be her mother, you’re going to have to do it on her terms.

That is an annoyingly good question.

I know.

Ok, so the reason that things between me and robert are going to work out this time is that, this time, there are no obstacles.

What about the fact that he’s a district attorney and you lead, shall we say, a very colorful life?

So there’s one obstacle.

Doesn’t it concern you that,despite the rich tapestry that is your history with robert, at present, the two of you currently reside in completely different worlds?

I’m not going to apologize for the way I live my life.

No one’s asking you to apologize, holly. Quite the contrary. I think you should write a book about your escapades. But has the universe really been working overtime to keep you and robert apart, or is it more likely that things have not worked out because they can’t and probably never will?


Deceptor sales are off the charts.

Oh, even without a total meltdown. Well done, us.

Oh, my god. Haven de havilland.

This is a closed set.

No, I know. I almost just ran across it during the broadcast, naked.

Oh, you did what?

Mm-hmm.

That’s how i got your pa to cut off that cute sound effect you were using to gaslight sasha.

Ok, show’s over pal, so why don’t you move–

you know how many bones are in this hand? You want to find out?

What do you want?

Nothing. I just wanted to let you know that if you ever threaten my friend sasha again with a stunt like that, your sales figures will be the least of your problems.

[Tense music]

Honey, are you threatening me?

Why yes, ma’am, I am. And you don’t want to see me make good on any of my threats.

N’neka. Is ms. Wu still in the club?

She is. Do you want me to tell her you’re looking for her?

No, no. Thank you.

It’s been a really long time since I allowed myself to trust my instincts. Now that’s all going to change. I think it’s time to let gladys off the hook and end the guardianship. I’m ready to take the reins again.

Hear, hear.

[Glass clink]

I’ll give you this much, carly. You didn’t drive the wedge between me and willow. But once you saw it was there, you didn’t hesitate to take advantage.

If by take advantage, you mean care for the young woman who my son is in love with, the young woman that you abused relentlessly, yeah, ok, I took advantage of her.

And to think I felt guilty about–

guilty about what?

About blaming you forthe estrangement from willow when it’s clear that you will do everything in your power to keep us apart.

Nina, you can lash out at me all you want. It doesn’t make what I said any less true.

Good luck with the sec, carly.

[Tense music]

I don’t think I’ve spoken out of turn, have I?

Not at all. I appreciate your frankness.

Well, then what’s left to say except, you’re welcome? And now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to call it a night.

Not on my account.

Oh, no, no, no. I have to be in court tomorrow morning. Who knows, maybe one day I will get to defend you.

I would trust my freedom to no one else.

Nor should you.

How’d it go?

Not half bad. I actually think I kind of like her.

Oh, that’s nice. Why don’t you sleep on it? See how you feel in the morning.

Listen, I’m not too proud to admit that holly sutton has some very interesting qualities. I almost feel sorry for robert having to decide between us.

Really?

Almost.

So what did he want?

He’s having a really hard time making a decision. And he wanted me to make it for him.

Did you?

No. I didn’t, not this time.

We ll, while you were solvingyour ex’s life problems, your current, which is me.

Oh, yes. I remember him.

Was putting the finishing touches on dinner. And not to brag–

as if.

But it’s the greatest amatriciana ever made. Even I’m impressed.

[Gasps] And you’re not one to be impressed.

Are you hungry?

I could eat.

[Soft music]

Ms. Sutton. I’m so glad to see youback in port charles.

I’m glad to be back, especially since there was a moment where I didn’t think I’d be back here, or anywhere else for that matter, ever again.

Since you’re here safe and sound, I wonder if you’d be open to doing a little more business. Our last venture proved fruitful to us both, did it not?

It certainly did.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Call you keep moving. I’m not expecting anything.

Is this a joke? Not at all. You have no idea how sweet this gig is. What delivering mail? Yeah. Huh? Keeps me plugged in with everything in the outside world and don’t tell anyone. Every now and then I just end up with an extra magazine or two. Hmm. Yeah. Well, like I said, uh, I doubt there’s anything in there for me.

You little faith. Now lucky. Lucky what just happened to show up today? And judging by the childlike handwriting seems like it might actually be from your darling daughter. Hand it over. Hey, what is the magic word? Hmm. Let’s see. Hand it over. I’ll rip your throat out. No, that’s nine words, but who am I to nitpick?

Oh.

Well, the least you can do is share what my little niece has to say. Um, dear mom, I have the most amazing news. Daddy and Chloe are definitely not getting back together. That’s good. Right. Oh, okay. Um, I, I know for sure because I heard daddy tell grandma and grandpa that Chloe just moved in with Sander Cook.

Yes, yes.

Oh, yes.

Did you do that? Of course I did. What the hell happened? Someone broke into the apartment. Oh my God. Are you sure? Yeah. Stay behind me, Chloe. I’ve got this. Who’s there? Show yourself.

My hero.

We have a special delivery for Dr. Marena Evans after the huge meal we had at the pub tonight. Oh, come on. There is always room for strawberries and whipped cream. Oh my gosh.

Hmm. Did you whip that cream yourself? Well, I did. I have gotten to be an expert at it. You have indeed. Yeah. You’re also an expert. Something else I like.

Thank you, ma’am. Do you have room for one more of those?

Brace yourself.

Oh. Oh, I miss you my love. Keith, my God, when I thought I had lost you, but you know what? I’m more looking back. We’re here now together, and to me that is nothing short of America. Well, I totally agree with that. You know, even when I, I got away from Megan, I just. I don’t know. I didn’t think that I would really make it out of there alive.

I didn’t think that I would. I would make it back to you my love, my husband, but here I am now, thanks to Dimitri von Lonesome.

Wait, so you’re, you’re holding another hostage. I see your hearing is still intact. You’re intellect now you’re bluffing cuz we searched every inch of the ship and all we found were you, Kate, and your henchman, they have names. You know the point is there’s nobody else here now who said anything about my hostage being on this trip.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

It just doesn’t make any sense mean Kate Roberts is all the leverage that you needed. You could have ransom to her for a small fortune. There are more important things in this world than money. Oh, but I can’t imagine someone like you could ever understand that someone, someone like me would be talking about a commoner.

Is that for your information? I was holding onto Kate until I had all my ducks in a row. And then right before you rudely interrupted our dinner party, I received a phone call that I was expecting. All right, so let me guess. You have all your ducks in a row now Indeed. Which is quite fortunate for me.

Less so for you. Father say, I believe you, who’s a mystery hostage all in due time. But for now, I would be more worried about what I want in exchange. I’m guessing full immunity for starters, but I’m not stopping there.

All right. Well, tell me that Von Leischner three. Didn’t hurt you?

Well, I can’t say it was pleasant being his guest, but, um, you know, the, it’s, it’s in the past and the more time he spends in my mind rent free, the more he wins. So, so tell me about Bo. Steve said that he’s in a coma. Yeah. And we’re not sure when, or. Yeah, you’ll come out of it. I’m so sorry. Hope’s moving him to a long-term care facility.

Kyle’s the family taking that. Well, we’re doing our best. Kayla’s back in Salem and Sierra’s on our way back home to Ben and the baby, and actually saw Sean right before you came. He is still a wreck. Because he blames himself. Yeah. And I reminded him that we all thought Bo was dangerous. I mean, hell, at the time we thought he had shot and killed you.

Well, I mean, I thought he was going to, and until I managed somehow to get through to him, how well I reminded him of his family and of hope. But honestly, I, I don’t think it was until I called him Megan’s lap dog that he honestly just snapped out of it. I sure he hated that a lot. Oh, yeah. My brother hated taking orders from anyone.

Megan Hathaway was certainly no exception. Oh, great. A letter about two people I don’t know and couldn’t care less about. May I continue? Sister? Hmm? Be my guest. You all right? Oh, I hate seeing Daddy. So sad now that he broke up with Chloe Lane because I think he’s really lonely. No, but I’m also really glad he’s not with that mean woman anymore because I hate her.

Is that okay? Mommy? But I’m also glad

Oh yes, sweet sweetheart. That is. Super. Okay.

Oh, okay. Oh, sorry. Don’t mind. No, no, no, no. It’s Please, please. Sorry. Wait. Don’t go. Fine. Are you sure? No, no, no. Nevermind us. We’ll get ourselves a room. This is your home too. Not much longer, actually. I look we’ve imposed on you long enough. No, no. We love having you here. Well, you are gonna be stuck with Rachel and me a little while longer because we haven’t found a place yet, but I have some leads.

Yeah, well, I, I know that you think this is what you have to do, but we are gonna miss having you here. Was this Hell yeah, kid. Well, I’m not gonna be that far. I actually planned to be right across the street, but Xander Cook, he seemed to have beaten me to the perfect department and it was also a nice way to find out that.

Chloe is moving in with him. Oh. Oh no. I’m so sorry. Sorry. Look, son. Son, you have pulled out all the stops to try to fix this thing with Chloe here, so maybe it’s time you just start forgiving yourself and try to move on. Dad, I’m trying. Chloe is too. I just, I really hate the idea of her moving in with.

That shmuck, why would this suddenly fall? Oh, I don’t know. It wasn’t hung right. I hung it myself. I remember, and I remember distinctly telling you that you needed a wall anchor for that picture and you insisting that you did not. Chloe, I know to hang a picture that foot was perfectly secure.

Okay. I think that was the patron saint irony. You sure about that? What I, I was making a joke, Sandra. No, I’m not finding this funny. Chloe, I’m starting think this place might be.

I am trying to think of somebody. That Chloe could end up with that’s worse than Xander Cook. And I’m, I’m drawing a blank. Just because she’s staying there does not mean she’s going to fall for him. Doesn’t mean she won’t either. I mean, a little while ago she couldn’t stand to even look at the guy, and now suddenly she’s okay with moving in with him.

And it’s not like I can say she’s too smart to fall for a guy like him because look at Sarah Horton, very intelligent woman who barely escaped that idiot’s clutches. Right? We’ve got a good point there. And the worst part, dad is. He’s not only a loser, but he’s a dangerous loser. You know, nobody knows that better than me.

Well, I know a little something about that. Seen as how he shot my two favorite people in the world who happen to be standing in this room right now, survive. Thank God. Yeah. I don’t think he should get a pass though for that. Just because we didn’t happen to die doesn’t mean he’s not responsible for heinous crime.

And by the way, not everyone was as lucky. This place haunted. It certainly was in the realm of possibility, isn’t it? Yeah. Only if you believe in ghosts. Yeah. Well, I’m from Scotland. Whole, whole-blood countries haunted lots and bogs, all covered in fog. If you ever seen any of those spooky castles up in the highlands, Hmm.

Can’t say that I have, but this apartment is not an ancient castle. Yeah. But sometimes ghost don’t just haunt places. They haunt people. Okay. So who’s haunting us? Not us. Me. Off the top of my head, I’m thinking Susan Knight.

Well, enjoy your night, sis. I’ve got a stack of stolen magazines to entertain me. Mm-hmm. Bye-bye. All right, Rachel, give mommy the glory details about Chloe and. Center, I would give you all the deeds. Mommy. But Danny changed the subject and then they all started talking about Boat Brady instead. Hmm. What?

What, what about Phil? What’s it to you? Oh, come on. Tell me what she said about Bo. I thought you weren’t interested in what my daughter had to say. Tell me what she said about Bo dammit. How the magic word is the word that you couldn’t manage. Please. Hmm. Find, since you’re curious. Oh, let’s see. Gets a little jumbled here, but, uh, well, it’s.

Seems everyone is upset because hope had broken through the bow and right when it looked like he was going to be his old self. Mo son Am and, and and what shot him? Oh my God. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. No. You see Commander, some people pray to the Lord above to get what they want, but I haven’t had very much luck in that regard.

So instead, I prefer to always be prepared just like the Boy Scouts are. Yes, I knew you would understand me, and I think you’ll find that in this case, I have not fallen short. Meaning, meaning. That I am not the only one being persecuted by the so-called powers that be. Therefore, I am not seeking one but two blanket immunity grants and if I don’t get them are you assure you commander, my second hostage will soon have an appointment at the Pearl Gates.

Well, I was expected everybody was very happy to see that you’re alive. Well, no. Hmm everyone. Cuz I think Maggie was kind of disappointed. Oh, come on, come on. Maggie’s got a good heart. She wouldn’t want any harm to come to you. Well, maybe for your sake. So what do you think? Oh, sleeping in a room that doesn’t smell like fish and make me see sick.

It’s gonna be so hard to adjust to, oh my God, you have been to hell and back. Yeah. Well with a pit stop in heaven. Yeah. Well that means you got a whole lot of pampering to have you. Okay. I’m not sure where to start. Bubble bath or in room spot treatment. Oh, you know neither of those really because, well, Dimitri wanted to whine and dine me, so he let me take a break from the fish and the spruce ups.

Okay, so that means you’ve eaten too? I have. Okay. So he is only need spa. Don’t need eat. I’m kind of running outta uh, ideas here. Okay. Um, well, maybe I could help because I do have something important to ask of you.

You see this naked finger here? Mm-hmm. Oh,

did you fix it for me?

Wait, that was a joke, right? About Susan Banks. You don’t actually think that she, well, she returned from the dead and is haunting me. Honestly, I’ve been suspecting it for a while and. I was responsible for her death. After all. Listen, I understand all too well with that. Feels like being responsible for someone losing their life and you never get over that.

Yeah. But in your case, I think you should get over it. Chloe in that Alpha Deo, he was a monster. Susan wasn’t. She was sweet and. She died a horrible death. And that’s on me.

Look, I’m not defending what you did, but at some point you have to move on with your life and, and just learn from it. Learn from it. Yeah. That’s what I’ve been trying so hard to do, Chloe. I mean, believe it or not, to learn from my grievous mistakes and not repeat them, but somehow trouble always seems to find me or I find it.

I get desperate for money usually, and then some opportunity arises before I know what’s happening. I’m neck deep in something illegal. And it spirals outta control until something very, very bad happened by Susan Banks meeting a fiery death in that car crash. But wasn’t Ava Vitali behind the wheel when Susan died?

Maybe Susan wouldn’t have been in the car if I hadn’t kidnapped her, if I hadn’t. If you hadn’t been weak. If I hadn’t taken Ava’s money, if I hadn’t grabbed Susan like I did, Susan would still be alive and.

I still be married to Sarah.

See, you see? Yeah. Maybe this place isn’t Haunty, but I,

I would never condone. Sanders’s actions, but he wasn’t the one responsible for Susan’s death. It was Ava that drove her off that cliff. Yeah. But he started the whole series of events by kidnapping her and that’s just his latest in his long list of crimes, including switching Rachel at birth. He never takes responsibility for these things.

Of course not. He was had in common with his Uncle Vic. Yeah. Yeah, he does. I keep thinking about Chloe being under the same roof with Xander, and I just wanted to myself, when is his next scheme? How’s he gonna drag Chloe into it? That’s all he does. Anybody who’s naive enough to, to get involved with him, I think the bastard belongs in prison.

Yeah, this is some evil twist of fate if you wanna have this ridiculous prison in both. H H How is he? He’s not that again. No, no. He’s uh, he’s in a coma. Good news, huh? How is that Good news. Comas aren’t so bad. I’ve been at a few myself and personally, I always wake up refreshed and ready to take on the world.

Well, I’m glad you’re finding this so humorous after everything that I went through to save him all those years, keeping him alive and. Protecting him. So glad we could be together. Hey, it’s okay. Take a deep breath.

I know he would’ve loved me again. I was so close.

Come on, listen. Um, all we have is a secondhand account from the Eve’s dropping child. Lu, you know, the mail takes forever in here, so who knows, Bo, he might be alright now

and he might not be. Hello, Kristen. You don’t get it. Hey, it is the whole reason that I came up with a plan to get myself outta here in the first place,

us Yumi, to get us outta here. Suddenly. It’s feeling more important now than ever. So sis, where do we stand

enough with the games? Dimitri, who are you trying to help with this COI deal?

You really can’t figure it out, huh? After all these clues, you certainly know her well. Her. Why do you think I’ve been enjoying this so much? Yes, her, your old pal and mentor,

Megan Hathaway.

I am sorry. I’m sorry, I, I come in here and I, I interrupt your romantic moment, and then I proceed to put all my baggage on you. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You know that we are always here to listen, son. Well, I’m done. I’m done. I’m gonna go in there and I’m gonna kiss my little girl goodnight, and I’m gonna think about all the good things that happened in my life.

You too. That’s the top of my list right back at you. Oh, we love you sweetie. I love you too, but seriously, seriously, thanks for always being there for me. You always are as you are for us. Goodnight honey.

When it comes to love, that kid has had nothing but better luck. I know. Let’s hope that Kristen doesn’t find out that Chloe’s out the picture. Although she would break outta jail and be right back here in his orbit.

I can’t believe you. The love of my wife is in a coma, and you managed to make it all about yourself Are you’re the one who brought up this mystery plan. It’s not a mystery to me. Then why don’t you tell me what it is? I did as you asked. I kept what you told me about Bo to myself. Yeah, well who cares about that?

I managed to blab it all to Andrew Donovan anyway. Well, that is not my problem. You promised me my freedom, dammit, and you will have it. My deal is very much in the works. We simply needed to get things organized. Get things sorted out,

who is getting things sorted out and organized? But Kristin, I, let me guess. You’re gonna tell me later. No, sis, you’re gonna tell me right now. Who do you have on the outside? Why does that make a difference to you? Because then it makes it real. I need to know what’s real fine. His name is Dimitri von Leischner.

Wait, the guy who tried to blow up the world with a Almanian peacock, you know another Dimitri Von Leischner.

You remember Megan, don’t you? From what I heard, you were doing her bidding for a better half of a year. Yeah, I wasn’t, I wasn’t right up here. I was brainwashed. Oh, that’s a convenient excuse, considering you’re just killing people left and right in pursuit of those prisms. I’m ashamed of what I did. Huh.

And I guess it’s that shame that made you hesitate when you had Hope Brady, in your crosshairs. Or did true love for your Its ugly hand.

It’s our subject. I totally get it. Well, for what it’s worth, you have terrible taste in women. Megan Hathaway is in prison and that’s where she’s staying. He’s so sure about that. I might not have Kate to get what I want, but trust me, I still have another race of my sleeve.

So you took your rings off? Yeah, I did because I was desperate. And I made a deal with one of Dimitri’s henchman. I’d give him my rings if he had given me a phone call to you. He never called me. No, I did call you. He just didn’t go through. The son of a bitch kept my ring anyway. But you got him back. Yeah.

And Chad and the others came to rescue me. I wanted to get the hell off that boat, but I was not going without those rings. So you carried these rings around this whole time? I did. I mean, I was going to put it on, but then I stopped because you put those rings on my finger the first time and I wanted you to put ’em back on for the last time.

Well, it was my honor then it will be my honor now.

I thought you could use this. Hopefully it’ll help you go back to sleep. Thank you. And I’m so sorry if I freaked you out earlier with all that. I think you’re right. Pictures fell down because I didn’t hang correctly. I don’t truly believe that the. Ghost of Susan Banks is haunting our apartment or me.

Well, that’s good. And I’m glad you’ve calmed down. I’m, I’m just sorry that you’re so tortured by what happened to her. Thank you. I just hope you don’t regret sharing a flat with a cranky sleep deprived scaredy cat. Well, I can be a scaredy cat myself at times, and I can definitely be cranky. I’m sure you’ve noticed And sleep deprived.

We shouldn’t make a habit of ending up here in the middle of the night like this. I mean, together, you’re right. We shouldn’t.

You need to go to your bed and you need to go to your bed.

Perfect fit just like us. Mm-hmm.

You know, I was thinking about you running out of ideas for what we could do while we’re here in this hotel room. You know, either I could take a spa or you know, we could go to dinner, but would you mind me making a suggestion? That’s what we could do. Please do. Well, I don’t have you

if you need to get that. No. Scam, likely. Where were we? Right here?

Persistent. What? Who is it? Paul the hell’s he doing calling so late? Everything is all right. Hey kid,

I met Dimitri once in Amsterdam and of course he raised go hang under an assumed name at that time, I S A H and Kyle Graham. Yeah. And he was with Bo X Billy Reed, and she had no idea of his true identity. Ah, Dimitri had her really fooled, and she’s a shrewd woman. So are you, and yet you managed to lose a Sapphire necklace when you tried to escape from him, how do you know so much?

Dimitri told me everything really.

What exactly is the nature of your connection to that Euro trash charmer. Hmm. Did he need something to fill the hours when you were feeling lonely because you couldn’t get oh to love you?

You have no idea what you’re talking about. Out. Oh my gosh. Did you connect with him at a evil, your social network? Listen to you. You are so judgmental.

Is that any way to talk about your nephew?

Nephew?

You’re gonna need a whole Desis if you want to get immunity for you and Megan, and that may still not be enough. See, I know what you, uh, I know what you tried to do in Zurich. Threatening the world with, um, devastation if they didn’t pay you off. I ain’t gotta admit, it’s a pretty good plan, a deranged plan.

Mm. And Megan’s the only person I know who’s more deranged than you are. The ISA will never let either of you walk out. Ah, yes. The I S A, my adopted home for so many years. Well, don’t you worry about them, Michaels. They’re not gonna stand it my way. No. On the contrary, they are going to insist that I’m granted my freedom.

Wow. Okay. Um, I hope that tea helps. Tea. Yes. All right. Thank you for that. Really thoughtful of you, and I’m sorry about all that nonsense earlier with the patient. It’s all good. Have a good night.

You know, I, uh, I assumed they would never see those rings again. Yeah, I figured they were, uh, in the urn with your ashes.

What did you do with that urn? The ashes anyway. Well, I brought that urn back to the pub, set it on the end of the bar. It, uh, made me feel close to you. Okay. Um, no fence with that. You know, that sounds a little bit like Anna Damir. Well, I wasn’t actually carrying the urn all around town. Yeah. Well, okay.

Please don’t tell me that you were talking to the ashes. Oh, no, you were a little, uh, look, that’s, that’s a weird part. Weird part is you talk to me too. Excuse me. I heard you. Alright. I heard your voice. You asked me to help you. To help you? Mm-hmm. You think I’m crazy? No, actually, I, no, actually I don’t, I mean, it’s sounds weird, but it, it seems somewhat familiar, you know, as if.

While Megan had us there on the deep freeze, like maybe I was reaching out to you. I mean, do you think that’s possible? Look, I’m never gonna deny the connection you and I have, but the only thing that matters right now is that you are here in my arms. For real.

I dunno. I just. It doesn’t seem real. It seems like. It seems like a dream. Well, it’s a dream. I don’t ever wanna wake up.

I’ll keep dreaming. Dimitri, why would the ISA want you to be free? Because Shane Donovan runs the organization, and I can assure you he’s gonna be very eager to give me exactly what I want. In fact, I would expect that he will personally see to it that Megan and I are. Both set free.

Dimitri, my nephew. I don’t understand. Oh, for goodness sake, do I really need to spell this out for you? Dimitri? One Ner. He’s my son.

Okay, Paul. Listen, thanks for calling. I’m on top of it. I’ll, uh, I’ll keep you posted. Yeah, love you too. What’s going on? You sound worried? Yeah, I am. So is Paul. He wants me to reach out to Shane. Hi, what’s wrong? Andrew Donovan is, uh, he’s missing, don’t know for how long, but apparently no one’s heard from him for quite some time.

Now, why the hell would Shane Donovan give you what you want? Well, he’s not really gonna have much of a choice unless he never wants to see his precious offspring again. Offspring. Yes. With all these clues, you really can’t figure it out. Come on, shame on you. Michaels

mystery hostage. Yes, yes. I knew you would catch a bravo. Well done. Yes. My mystery hostage is drum roll please. Shane’s very own. Son Andrew.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Finn: Liam should be concerned about hope. What do you mean?

Steffy: I know you think I’m overreacting, but… I’ve seen some things, and then this trip comes up.

Finn: The meeting in san francisco is for hope for the future. It’s work-related.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah. They almost got stuck there, overnight.

Finn: But that’s not thomas’s fault or hope’S.

Steffy: Finn, if they had to spend the night… I was concerned about what could happen.

Finn: But not because of your brother? So, you’re not worried about thomas? You’re worried about hope?

Steffy: Yeah.

Hope: Well, thank you. I didn’t realize how much I needed that.

Thomas: Yeah, just let me know if it starts bugging you again.

Hope: [ Clears throat ] Well, we’ll probably be landing soon, so we should get ready. Oh, sorry.

Thomas: There’s nothing to be sorry about.

Hope: I didn’t mean to do that. [ Clears throat ]

Thomas: Hey,

Hope: Mm.

Thomas: Everything’s gonna be all right.

Finn: Liam shouldn’t be concerned about thomas, it’s hope he needs to worry about? I– what could possibly even make you think that?

Steffy: Okay, this has to be just between us.

Finn: Yeah, of course.

Steffy: Nobody can know.

Finn: Babe, who am I even gonna tell? I’m not exactly gossiping about the fashion industry in between patients.

Steffy: I– I get that. I just don’t want the wrong person finding out.

Finn: Honey, I– okay. I promise I’m not gonna tell a soul.

Steffy: Uh, I walked in on something. Hope and thomas. It was a– it was an intimate moment. Eye contact, touching.

Finn: Oh, my god. So, what– thomas was touching hope? He was coming on to her?

Steffy: No, it was the other way around.

Finn: Wait, what?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Hope was coming on to thomas?

Thomas: Look, hope, I know just how devoted you are to liam and your whole family.

Hope: Well, the thing is, I grew up watching my mom–

Thomas: Hey, no, no, no, stop. Stop doing that. You’re not your mother, okay? You’re gonna be with liam for the rest of your life.

Trying vapes

to quit smoking

Finn: So, you said touching?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Okay, so, what does that mean exactly? Like, what did you witness between hope and thomas? Was– I mean, it was at the office. It couldn’t have been that bad. We’re not talking about something, like, completely inappropriate? Are we?

Steffy: They were fully clothed. But, yeah, it was inappropriate.

Finn: And they didn’t know you were there?

Steffy: Not at the time. I wasn’t eavesdropping or anything. I– I was walking back into the office when I overheard hope talking to thomas about how in sync they are. And how there was no limit to how far they could take hope for the future.

Finn: It seems pretty tame. I mean, maybe he was feeling down, he just needed a pep talk.

Steffy: No, no, there was– there was more to it, more to her. It was the way she looked at him, touching his hands. There was nothing tame about that. Gosh, hope was caressing my brother’s hands, gazing into his eyes and not in the way a coworker or a co-parent should. No, she was gazing with desire.

Finn: Desire? Steffy. Come on.

Steffy: It’s– it’s true. She wasn’t looking at him like a friend, that she, like, appreciated him. I know when a woman wants a man, finn.

Finn: Well, you think that hope wants– I just– I’m– I’m sorry, I can’t believe this. This is–

Steffy: I couldn’t believe it either. That’s why I had to confront her.

Finn: You confronted her?

Steffy: Yes, of course I did. My brother is doing so well. There is no way I’m letting hope screw this up for him.

Thomas: Hey, carter.

Carter: Hey.

Thomas: I didn’t realize anybody would still be here.

Carter: Yeah, just finishing up a few things. So, san francisco.

Thomas: Uh-huh.

Carter: Huge success, huh?

Thomas: Yeah, you know, hope crushed it per usual.

Carter: I can tell from all the orders pouring in.

Thomas: Really? That quick, huh?

Carter: Initial orders and the buyers indicated there’s more to come.

Thomas: You know, I love it when a plan comes together.

Carter: Yeah. Well, almost together. I heard about the little drama that happened after the meeting between you and hope.

Hope: Um, what’s all this?

Liam: Hey, one sec. Hi. Yeah, we’re, uh– we’re celebrating. Yeah.

Hope: Yeah. My, um– my successful meeting?

Liam: Yeah. Also selfishly, I’m glad you weren’t forced to spend the night in san francisco. You know?

Hope: Mm-hmm. Me too.

[ Liam laughing ]

Liam: Um, li– uh, listen, I– I get that you– you trust thomas. And– and I understand that at this point. It’s– it’s one thing for you guys to have to work long hours at the office. But, you know, being alone together in another city is just a bit much for me.

Hope: I know. No, no, no, I totally– I totally get that. But, you know, even if we did have to stay, he would have been in his hotel room. I would have been in mine, and– and we probably would’ve barely even seen each other.

Liam: Yeah. No, yeah. I mean, unless– I mean, I wouldn’t put it past him to, like, ask if you wanted to take a stroll or, like, see the city. Night out on the town. Something– it doesn’t matter because it didn’t happen and for that, I’m grateful. So, moving on.

Hope: Yeah, I am grateful for that, too.

Liam: Cool. Um, I guess maybe as a formality, I should ask, like, did he try anything?

Hope: No.

Liam: No. You promise? Great. Nothing. So, nothing. Nothing at all happened. Eggland’s best.

Thomas: Drama?

Carter: The plane. You and hope almost didn’t make it home.

Thomas: Oh, yeah, that was– that, yeah, was dramatic.

Carter: Yeah, hope must have been freaking out. I mean, you, you probably wouldn’t have minded an extended vacation but hope was probably desperate to get back to liam.

Thomas: Definitely.

Carter: That’s what we hope for, right? Liam’s crazy about her and hope, completely devoted to him.

Thomas: Yeah. She– she certainly is.

Finn: Please tell me you didn’t let things get out of hand?

Steffy: I was a protective sister. I didn’t go into attack mode… ish. She did a pretty good job convincing me that she doesn’t have feelings for– for thomas.

Finn: Okay, then, well, like, what’s the concern there?

Steffy: I said pretty good job. She may believe what she’s saying, but I’m not sure I do.

Finn: Oh, so are you suggesting that she doesn’t even realize that she’s flirting with thomas? Like, not consciously?

Steffy: I don’t know. I don’t know. Okay, let’s– let’s think about it. All these years, thomas has been fawning over hope. He just adored her for so long and just like that, it– it goes away. Maybe hope’s not used to it. Maybe– maybe it bruised her ego a bit. Thomas is in a good, healthy place. So, if she’s flirting with thomas, consciously or not, it’s awful. You just don’t flirt with someone who used to be obsessed with you.

Finn: I don’t disagree. It’s just– so, what did hope say for herself?

Steffy: She said that my imagination was running wild.

Finn: Well, it could be, right?

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, it could. So, I asked her point blank if she had feelings for thomas.

Finn: And?

Steffy: She said it’s ridiculous.

Finn: Okay, so was there any part of you that believes her? Like, could there be a world where hope is telling the truth?

Liam: So, that’s cool. Nothing happened, thomas didn’t try anything, huh?

Hope: Oh, well, I’ll tell you what did happen. We had a meeting with the buyers and they were super, super impressed.

Liam: Well, of course, they were. That’s fantastic news. I am so happy for you.

Hope: I mean, it really is. I don’t think it could have gone any better.

Liam: Well–

Hope: Actually, that is not true. I think it would have been much better if you were there. I–

Liam: Aw.

Hope: I really missed you.

Liam: Hmm. Wow.

Hope: Mm.

Liam: Where’s that coming from?

Hope: Oh, I just, you know, don’t want you to forget how much I love and appreciate you.

Liam: I love and appreciate you, too. Things are good. I mean, your line is coming back. No surprise there. The buyers loved your pitch. No surprise there. Shoot, the most stressful part of the trip was probably after.

Hope: After?

Liam: What happened after. The mechanical issues on the plane. ‘Cause, you know, nobody likes being stuck waiting for a flight, you know?

Hope: No, not at all.

Liam: Well, I’m sure it will come as a great shock to you that I’m really happy you didn’t have to spend the night in san francisco with thomas.

Hope: Mm. Yeah, me, too. When you have chronic kidney disease.

Thomas: You getting out of here finally?

Carter: Yeah, late dinner plans with katie. I can’t wait to tell her all the works we’ll have on our plate tomorrow thanks to your successful trip.

Thomas: Better than the alternative, though, right?

Carter: Yeah, that is for sure. Nice work today, thomas. You and hope, you proved it again.

Thomas: Proved what?

Carter: What an amazing team you are.

Steffy: I want to believe hope. I do. So, the last person that you’d think that she’d be attracted to is, like, a bad boy.

Finn: Well, not that thomas is. I mean, not anymore.

Steffy: No, I mean, he’s– he’s made changes. We all see that. Hope sees that. But I think– I think hope will always see thomas as the ultimate bad boy.

Finn: Like some hidden fantasy of hers? I mean, yeah, it’s not that unbelievable. And growing up with brooke logan as your mother… I mean, at least from the stories that you’ve told me, I mean, I can only imagine the example that was being set.

Steffy: That’s true. And I… I did tell hope that I thought she was turning into brooke.

Finn: [ Chuckles ] Really?

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah. But honestly, I– I really don’t think hope is anything like brooke. She’s the complete opposite.

Finn: So, does that mean you’re gonna take her at her word? You’re gonna choose to believe that she doesn’t have feelings for thomas?

Steffy: Okay. I will try to lean toward believing hope, but I’m gonna be watching her. And if she crosses any lines with thomas, first off, that would be just awful if she did that to liaM. Secondly, that would undermine all the progress thomas has made. Everything is going so well in our family and I don’t want– I do not want hope to ruin that for us.

Hope: My principles

and my morals,

they matter to me.

Sorry.

Thomas: No, wait, hey, hey,

hey, hold on, hold on.

Hope.

You are the most principled

and– and moral person

I’ve ever met.

You’re nothing like

your mother. [ Scoffs ]

And I’ve watched you

my entire life.

You– you’re– you’re like one

of the most incredible people

ever, and you love your family.

You always want to be with liam

and– and nothing is gonna

come between you two.

Liam: I mean, the whole thomas situation, you guys working late nights together and going on trips together now, it– it drives me nuts. That’s not a secret. I can admit that. What I don’t want is for it to affect our relationship. I don’t want it to– to drive a wedge in our marriage. And even if that did happen, that wouldn’t be on you. I– I trust you completely. It– it’s thomas that historically I have trust issues with.

Hope: Well, I don’t think you need to worry about thomas. He’s been professional and he knows how I feel about you and our family and this life that we’ve built together.

Liam: Yeah. I mean, even steffy said a lot of the same stuff.

Hope: Wait, um, so, you talked to steffy about this?

Liam: Yeah. I mean, she’s his sister. I figured if anyone would have some insight into his, uh, consciousness, it’d be her.

Hope: And what did she say?

Liam: Kinda just what you did. Like, that he’s– he’s not a threat to my marriage.

Hope: That’s it?

Liam: Yeah.

Hope: Okay.

Liam: Okay.

Hope: Okay.

[ Clears throat ]

Steffy: I saw you, hope.

Hope: Saw?

Steffy: What I didn’t know,

which I– I never would have

thought is that it would–

it would be you.

Hope: Me?

Steffy: You were looking

right in thomas’s eyes,

laying it on pretty thick.

Hope: All right,

it is not what you think–

Steffy: I know what I saw.

I will not

let you derail thomas.

I will not allow you

or anyone else to set him back.

Do you hear me?

So, I’m gonna ask you

and ask you once.

Do you have feelings

for thomas?

[ Laughs ]

Thomas: Here. Come here.

[ Hope laughing ]

Hope: Liam?

Liam: Mm-hmm?

Hope: I mean, you– you know how much I love you, right?

Liam: Yeah.

Hope: Okay, ’cause I don’t– I don’t ever want you to doubt that.

Liam: I won’T.

Hope: Okay. You promise?

Liam: Yeah, I promise.

Recap written by Terry

Jack was stunned by Daniel’s revelation that Phylis is alive, and Kyle was desperate to find Summer to tell her. Kyle doesn’t know that it was Summer who told Daniel about Phyllis. Daniel said Phyllis contacted only him. In fact, Phyllis contacted Summer and implored her to not tell Daniel. Summer could not keep the secret and told her brother. After Daniel told Jack, Kyle and Diane’s lawyer, Michael Baldwin, that Phyllis is alive, Kyle wanted to inform Diane, but Michael said no one else was to know until there’s evidence that Phyllis is alive and back in town. Daniel said no one can know Phyllis is alive before it’s arranged that Phyllis will turn herself in and does not go to prison. Diane walked into the tense discussion and asked the group if there was something she should know. Daniel told Diane he believed she did not murder Phyllis and that he believed it was Jeremy Stark who tried to frame Diane for Phyllis’ death. Diane expressed her gratitude to Daniel, who could barely look at her, knowing the secret he kept from her.

Kyle insisted that he tell Summer her mother is alive, but Jack asked him to hold off until he could speak with District Attorney Christine Williams, who is prosecuting the case against Diane. When Kyle spoke with Diane alone, he was on the verge of spilling the secret.

Sally told Adam she can’t work with him ever again and that he had to find a way to let her go.

Nick ran into Elena, who was having a drink after moving out of the apartment she shared with Nate. She told Nick he was right about Nate, and Nick suggested she and Nick have ice cream, which he said helps everything.

Victoria and Nate discussed his breakup with Elena; Nate stated he did not want Elena back. They talked about the future.

Nick presented a romantic dinner to Sally and told her that he’s in love with her.

Interviews with actors and writers of “The Tower 2: Death Message”

TV Interview!

 

Stars Gemma Whelan, Jimmy Akingbola and Tahirah Sharif of "The Tower 2: Death Message" on Britbox

Interviews with actors and writers of “The Tower 2: Death Message” on Britbox by Suzanne 5/3/23

This was so much fun! I had never heard of this series (I don’t normally watch Britbox), so I watched the first series, “The Tower” and then the upcoming episodes of “The Tower 2: Death Message.” They were very entertaining. If you loved the books, or you liked the first series, you will certainly enjoy the second one. It has the same actors and a similar story, but with more action and character development. Of course, it has a great mystery or two. Speaking with the writers and actors was great because they were kind and funny.

First, I spoke with Writer and Executive Producer Patrick Harbinson and Author and Executive Producer Kate London. I generally only speak to actors and producers, so it’s a rare treat to speak to a writer or director. They didn’t disappoint!

 with Season One BAFTA Television Award-Nominated Actress Tahirah Sharif, Jimmy Akingbola, and Emmett J. Scanlan Also Returning

New York, NY – April 21, 2023 – BritBox, the world leader in British streaming, will exclusively premiere gripping crime drama The Tower 2: Death Message from May 16 in North America. The four-episode thriller is returning for a second season, airing weekly on BritBox, following its 2021 hit first installment, The Tower, also available on the service.

The critically-acclaimed crime drama is written and executive produced by Patrick Harbinson (Homeland, 24), and produced by Harbinson’s Windhover Films and Mammoth Screen, in association with ITV Studios. It stars Gemma Whelan (Game of Thrones, Gentleman Jack), Jimmy Akingbola (Bel-Air, Ted Lasso), Tahirah Sharif (The Haunting of Bly Manor, A Christmas Prince), BAFTA Television Award-nominated for her performance in season one, and Emmett J. Scanlan (Peaky Blinders, Kin).

The Tower 2: Death Message is based on the second novel in author Kate London’s best-selling series. Following the dramatic climax of season one, rookie Police Constable Lizzie Adama (Sharif) returns to her London police station where she finds herself fighting to protect a mother and daughter in peril. Meanwhile, Detective Sergeant Sarah Collins (Whelan) has transferred to Homicide Command. When she is tasked with re-opening a cold case involving a missing schoolgirl, her investigations take an unexpected turn, leading her to cross paths with Lizzie once again. Detective Inspector Kieran Shaw (Scanlan) wants to recruit Detective Sergeant Steve Bradshaw (Akingbola) for a specialist task force, targeting a major organized crime figure, but he must convince Steve he can be trusted. This latest season promises another complex, authentic and topical crime story that will keep audiences gripped.

Season one followed Detective Sergeant Sarah Collins as she set out to uncover the truth around two grisly deaths discovered at the bottom of a residential apartment building. The investigation led her into a dark conspiracy in which her relationship with Lizzie Adama was tested to the limits. All three episodes of season one are now available on BritBox ahead of the season two debut.

Patrick Harbinson and Kate London executive produce the series alongside Mammoth Screen’s Sheena Bucktowonsing and Damien Timmer. Andy Mosse (The Last Bus, The Darkest Dawn, Hungerford) produces and Faye Gilbert (The Bay, The Line, Leaving Eva) directs.

Billy: I wonder what’s keeping Connor and Chelsea?

Johnny: Maybe he just had his weekly nerd club meeting.

Billy: Easy. That’s your kid brother.

Johnny: Exactly. That’s why I get to say stuff like that. Back when he was just my cousin, it was a completely different story.

Billy: Right, right, right. So, let me get this straight. You can only say things like that if it comes from love?

Johnny: Yeah.

*********************************

Billy: Well, I was just telling Johnny that you are expecting a new baby sister.

Johnny: Welcome to the big brothers club.

Connor: Right. Whoop-de-doo.

Johnny: Oh, here’s the good news. She’s not living under your roof and she’ll be too little to talk, so…

Connor: I’m not hungry. I just wanna go home.

Chelsea: Really? This is the first time this kid’s ever turned down a snack.

Billy: You know, there are benefits to having a sister. There are. Why don’t you fill him in? Tell– tell the young man all the great things.

Johnny: Well, first time she burps the way you taught her to, that’s cool. Also, you can take your broccoli from your plate and just put it on her plate–

Billy: Okay. You’re done. Cut off.

Johnny: Hey, I speak the truth.

Billy: Don’t listen to anything he says.

Sally: It’s just when you offered me the job of my choice at McCall, I knew it was a terrible idea. Like, what were you thinking? Look… we can never, ever work together again.

Adam: I’m assuming that you and Nick arrived at this decision together.

Sally: No.

Adam: Sorry. I just thought he would be the one to make such a reckless decision.

Sally: Reckless?

Adam: I– I don’t know. Brave? Crazy? Call it what you want. I– I’m giving you a chance to write your own ticket, Sally. To choose your own job, to create your own culture. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to design the job of your dreams.

Sally: Just so we’re clear, just because I’m with your brother doesn’t mean that I don’t make my own decisions.

Adam: Okay. Of course, you do. That’s why I gave you carte blanche. Hasty of me. I– I guess I was just excited about the idea of us working together again.

[Adam sighs] You know, it wasn’t that bad at Newman Media, was it?

Sally: We had our moments.

Adam: We can have them again. But this time on our own terms, answering to no one.

Sally: We were lightning in a bottle, Adam.

Adam: You can’t tell me that you don’t want that again.

Sally: I want different things now. And I have made my decision. There isn’t a Newman alive who will ever sign my paychecks again.

***********************************************

Adam: I mean, clarify this for me. Is it the name? Genetics? Is it anybody with Newman DNA, or is it everyone in– in the family of which you’re about to be a part of?

Sally: It’s you and Nick, for obvious reasons.

Adam: Has there been any movement with Chancellor-Winters?

Sally: No, there hasn’t been any movement, but, you know, there’s other ways to grow our business, and if there’s one thing that Chloe and I do best, it is pivot. You know, turn on a dime, make things happen. Will you respect my decision?

Adam: Sally… what don’t I respect about you?
